Bug Description

In Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) the Dropbear init script (/etc/init.d/dropbear) only supports a single port or address declaration. Lines 48 and 65 only show a single "-p" parameter. Dropbear 0.52 (according to the dropbear man page) requires a separate "-p" parameter for each address/port declaration. It also only supports a maximum of 10 ports.

The fix for this will also influence bug #539904 which applies to Dropbear port declaration in initramfs.

A workaround for this is to add extra "-p <port>" arguments
to DROPBEAR_EXTRA_ARGS in /etc/defaults/dropbear. I'm not
sure if it'd be worth adding the extra complexity for
parsing DROPBEAR_PORT.

Editing /etc/default/dropbear doesn't seem to affect the initramfs at all in Quantal.
