Package: monit
Version: monit openssh-server config depends on a key which is not required to 
be there
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
the monit openssh-server config includes a dependency for sshd on

check file sshd_dsa_key with path /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
  group sshd
  include /etc/monit/templates/rootstrict

a fresh install from the debian stretch netinst medium creates keys for
rsa, ecdsa and ed25519, but no dsa keys. I am not sure but this may be
a security choice. Anyway, the monit check does not check sshd because
the key is missing and does not work in a default installation here
without removing the dependency.

with kind regards,
Alexander Schier
