Alright :-) >> Hmm. dpkg -c on the the 4 deb files tells me this file is only shipped >> by dropbear-initramfs, not dropbear.

It's possible that I didn't try the right combination of Breaks/Replaces. Here is what I propose as a workaround: 2015.68-1 → Strech: revert commit e76daa2 and add /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear back to dropbear-initramfs's configuration files. (This violates the Debian Policy Manual section 10.7.2.) from Strech onwards: make /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear a symlink to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear, which can been added dropbear-initramfs's configuration files without policy violation. I didn't manage to make seamless upgrade from Wheezy without the intermediate step. It looks like dpkg can't handle the package rename somehow: I successfully upgraded shamelessly from Wheezy's dropbear to dropbear-{,-run,-bin,initramfs} 2015.68-1 (1st step), then to 2015.68-2 (2nd step). You'll find the new upload at dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dropbear/dropbear_2015.68-1.dsc (I added lintian override for the TODO note, even though the tag is non-overridable.) -- Guilhem.
