Looks like rsa1 is no longer supported:

Code:

Generating public/private rsa1 key pair.
Saving key "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key" failed: unknown or unsupported key type

So

Code:

  if [ ! -r /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ]; then
    /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' 
  fi

Is no longer needed.

Cheers

Is there any particular reason it generates them all individually rather than just doing a 'ssh-keygen -A'?

I heard on one of the Linux podcasts I listen to, but can't remember which one, that the latest ssh releases have dropped support for a number of options which the maintainers decided were obsolete, though they can be retroactively compiled in if you insist.

Perhaps the release notes will help:

Primarily because the output looks better that way.
