Cool.
Now here's a trick...
Standardise on one public/private key pair that represents you as a person, then put the public key in the authorized_keys for all the servers you want to talk to, and put the private key in the identity in .ssh in your home directory on each server. That way you will happily be able to scp/ssh from any machine to any other machine. Of course, only put the private key on machines you trust.

# dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

# dropbearkey -y -f id_rsa | grep "^ssh-rsa " >> authorized_keys
