while I fully agree and don't think that the debian package should
divert from upstream here, as an admin I do use different defaults for
systems I maintain.

postinst do re-create missing things/fallback to upstream defaults.

To make it nicer for admins to locally deviate from the defaults.. how
about internal preseed option(s) not shown to the user to select
host-keys to be generated? Would you accept patches for this?

Daniel
