Occasionally a host key changes (like when the machine is reinstalled),
and users need to be able to remove the corresonding line from
known_hosts.  Now that the hostnames are hashed, that's difficult.

OpenSSH supposedly comes with utilities remove-knownhost and ssh-showkey
for dealing with this.  Perhaps the next version of the Debian package
should include these.  Until then, I'll just turn off HashKnownHosts in
~/.ssh/config.
