That's for the old IT2005 software version.

I do not know, but I expect the server to be started automatically.  If
I am right, then you can stop it by getting root access in a terminal
and running /etc/init.d/dropbear-server stop, but it will be restarted
on the next reboot.

Yes.

Those are for the IT2005 OS version, they won't work on OS2006 (the
filenames end in _arm.deb instead of _armel.deb).
