    dropbear: disable MD5 HMAC and switch to sha1 fingerprints
    
    As MD5 is known weak for many years and more and more
    penetration test tools complain about enabled MD5 HMAC
    I think it's time to drop it.
    
    By disabling the MD5 HMAC support dropbear  will also
    automatically use SHA1 for fingerprints.
    This shouldn't be a problem too.
