Maybe this could be reworded as a wishlist bug for a feature to keep
some carefully selected subset of files synchronized both in ecrypts and
unencrypted forms? Or should some union-mount like feature be needed to
store such exceptional files only in unencrypted form?
Workaround:
In order for the keys to be used, authorized-keys should also exist in
unencrypted form (this approach implies exposing some known-plaintext,
consequences of which should be analyzed further).
In order to achieve this, you can use the following commands when logged
in:
sudo mount -o bind /home /mnt
mkdir -m 700 /mnt${HOME#/home}/.ssh
cp -ia ${HOME}/.ssh/authorized_keys /mnt${HOME#/home}/.ssh/
sudo umount /mnt
