Um, which ones? IIRC, ssh is the only one here, and it doesn't nuke the
host key for good reasons. After all, what good is it for to leave back
(unmodified!) config files, if the package's long gone?

Even worse, if you upgrade to a newer version and that version tries to be
smart, it won't overwrite the file and result in possible wrong operation
resulting from the outdated config file. Certainly not desirable.
