random ssh keys (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ gnome-keyring
assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub. Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard ssh key names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/, which gnome-keyring will not check. Note that neither I nor #debian-devel were able to quite reproduce this problem, but I believe it exists, and that this fixes it. And it certianly won't hurt anything..
