** Description changed:

+ Impact:
+ Multiarch users of dropbear generate broken initramfs images (without 
libnss*).
+ 
+ Test case:
+ After installing dropbear in a multiarch system, it should be possible to 
generate a new initramfs image, for example by triggering a dpkg-reconfigure of 
the currently installed kernel image, without issuing any errors.
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+ The patch supplied looks for the correct directory where the files are 
located, if there was a problem with this search, it might end up not copying 
the files, as it happens now in multiarch.  However, this has been already 
uploaded and tested in Debian, and it's quite unlikely to happen,

+ Original description:
+ 
  I did a fresh install.
  I use system encryption with LUKS (LVM-container inside encrypted parition).
  
  I installed dropbear.
  copied the ssh-key from /etc/initramfs-tools
  When booting, the process stops to prompt for the password.
  dropbear starts correctly, but when trying to connect I get prompted for a 
password.
  
  I also modified the initrd, so that dropbear would display some debug-output 
(-E -F)
- There I could see 
+ There I could see
  [...] login attempt for nonexistent user from [...]
  everytime I tried to login.
  
  I tried this on ubuntu-11.04-server and ubuntu 10.04-server (both amd64).
  It worked perfectly on 10.04
