Title:
  cannot login via ssh when using dropbear in initramfs

Status in “dropbear” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “dropbear” package in Debian:
  New

Bug 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 
  [...] 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
