Try this patch

http://www.roberto.foglietta.name/work//sections/02_Linux/03_Embedded/06_Marconi-Ericsson/dropbear_always_accept_and_store_hostkey.patch

it referes to an previous version of dropbox but it could still work,
tell me back if it still works or not.

it was not accepted into main stream because usage of this option
seriously degrade security.
