This does not belong in an rc file. It belongs in upgrade instructions
or, even better, perhaps ssh should be patched to accept the original
host key file if the new one doesn't exist. But trying to do any
modification of /etc assumes way, way too much about how the machine has
been configured or is being used. For example, / might be mounted
read-only. Additionally, doing 'one time corrections' from an rc file
is pollutes its purpose. When do you propose that this modification
be removed? A year? Two years? Is it supposed to stay there forever?

:I would have thought it's more appropriate to remove one of the
:useless Host Keys in sshd_config instead.
