I'm curious if you're getting confused with it adding new hosts to the known_hots file not the authorized_keys file... I've yet to see an sshd process in Debian (or any system for that matter) that automatically touched the authorized_keys file... That file has always had to be created by me personally using the public key file (*.pub) that I want'd to make authorized...
