Command of the Day

ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N '' &amp;&amp;
  ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N '' &amp;&amp;
  /etc/init.d/ssh restart

I really don't think distributors should try to patch cryptographic stuff, especially not to silence debuggers.

aka rm /etc/ssh/sshhost* && dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server ;)
