I do not think we should leave this line in the file.
Thats confusing.  No other distro's cloud.cfg would
have such a line.

if we left it as null, it would not generate any keys.
We need it to generate keys.

You are correct in that it will generate the default key
types for cloud-init, which will not necessarily be the
same as those in ssh-keygen service.

However, cloud-init will *remove* all ssh host keys that match
  /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*key*
So we wont' have stale keys sitting around.
