Public bug reported:

Currently there is no way to change key-name associated with instance.
This has some justification as key may be downloaded only at build time
and later changes will be ignored by instance.

But this is not a case for rebuild command. If tenant want to rebuild
instance, he may wants to change key used to access that instance.

Main reason for 'rebuild' command instead of 'delete/create' often lies
in area of preserving network settings - fixed ips, mac addresses,
assosiated floatings IPs. Normally user want to keep the same ssh key as
at creation time, but occasionally he (she) may want to replace it.

Right now there is no such option.

TL;DR; Please add --key-name option to nova rebuild command (and API).

Thanks.
