Packaging libtomcrypt is easy, but building Dropbear without using the bundled libtom libraries is still not that simple. I tried building Dropbear with "--disable-bundled-libtom" but the build scripts don't automatically find the shared libraries. My primary motivation for filing this bug was the risk of serious bugs in the old copies of the libtom libraries. Since Dropbear has upgraded their copies, makes enough modifications that they think it's worth forking, and because using the external libraries is complicated, I'm closing this bug as-is. But I'm also leaving the comment in the Dropbear package definition.
