That's the problem I have with your approach: when we want to upgrade
openssh, we will have to upgrade in two different places.

I would very much prefer to see a contribution made to openssh to get
the capability of building / installing only sftp-server, but I'm not
the Buildroot maintainer, so my opinion is just one amongst many
others :)
