Public bug reported:

The documentation for the SSH module should mention that it is working
with SSH *Host* Keys, since many people will commonly understand the
term "SSH Key" to mean a key being used for User Authentication. This is
somewhat ambiguous, I ended up building my own solution to replace host
keys.

The wording could be:
Summary: configure ssh and ssh host keys

This module handles most configuration for ssh and ssh host keys. Many
images have default ssh host keys, which can be removed using
ssh_deletekeys. This prevents re-use of a private key from an image on
multiple machines. Since removing default keys is usually the desired
behavior this option is enabled by default.
