If we want kirkstone or dunfell to work on Fedora 36 we're going to
need this. Unfortunately it will break images with -dev packages in
them.

The fixes for master for that are not appropriate for
kirkstone/dunfell, they're quite invasive for master.

As such you may need to disable the -dev package dependencies for
dropbear/openssh, something like:

RDEPENDS:openssh-dev[nodeprrecs] = "1"
RDEPENDS:dropbear-dev[nodeprrecs] = "1"

in the appropriate places. I mention this now whilst I remember the
context!

Cheers,

Richard
