The issue I believe is because openssh-server.postinst doesn't add new
HostKey to an existing sshd_config file. Because of this, newer key
format are not generated in postinst. IMHO, they should always be
generated via "ssh-keygen -A" and the admin would then be free to
include a HostKey directive for every supported key type.

  when connecting to my Ubuntu 12.04 server via ssh I get a log entry
