Description

Adds a mkinitcpio hook that can place the Dropbear SSH server in early userspace. This allows remote access before the full system has booted, often for unlocking encrypted disks or diagnosing boot problems.

Use only when you understand early-boot networking and SSH key setup. A mistake can leave remote access unavailable or expose a sensitive boot stage to the network.
