Use HOME before /etc/passwd to find id_dropbear (#137) Currently dbclient uses the value of HOME by default when looking for ~/.ssh/known_hosts, falling back to /etc/passwd if HOME is not set (so that people can work around broken values in /etc/passwd). However, when locating the default authentication key (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_dropbear), paths not starting with / are always prefixed with the value from /etc/passwd. Make the behaviour consistent by adjusting expand_homedir_path to use the value of HOME, falling back to /etc/passwd if HOME is not set.

Dropbear for Debian
-------------------

This package will attempt to setup the Dropbear ssh server to listen on
port 22.  If the OpenSSH server package ("openssh-server") is installed,
the file /etc/default/dropbear will be set up so that the server does not
start by default.

You can run Dropbear concurrently with OpenSSH 'sshd' by modifying
/etc/default/dropbear so that "NO_START" is set to "0", and changing the
port number that Dropbear runs on.  Follow the instructions in the file.

This package suggests you install the "openssh-client" package, which
provides the "ssh" client program, as well as the "/usr/bin/scp" binary
you will need to be able to retrieve files via SCP from a server running
Dropbear.
