non-default because ssh-keygen does generate 2048 bits keys for
RSA by default since quite some time and the postinst doesn't
give an explicit size when it creates the keys.

So either this key got installed/generated manually, or it was
generated with an old SSH version running with a bad libssl,
or (unlikely) the key was generated normally and you simply
happen to have generated one of the bad ones.
I don't think this bug warrants its "grave" status.
