The use of ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys files has been disabled since DSA1571 was announced. While our initial plan was to allow them again eventually some bad experience with DDs' key handling has led us to reconsider that intent. So ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys will remain disabled. If you want to login to debian.org hosts using keys you should send them to the LDAP as outlined at <URL:https://db.debian.org/doc-mail.html>, which allows us to do at least some quality control. Should you need keys only on specific hosts for automated tasks like updating stuff or syncing files between project machines or similar we can enable a user editable authorized_keys file for specific users on specific hosts. Usually we would expect those keys to be limited to use only from certain hosts (using from="<xyz>") and limited to allow execution of only certain commands (using command="<foobar"). Contact DSA if you have such a case. Your sysadmins
