Bug#440757: openssh-client: ssh-copy-id should use the actual key comment, not the key file name
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.6p1-5
Severity: normal
My SSH keys have comments that help me identify the key. ssh-copy-id,
however, does not copy the key comment, but instead uses the filename of the
public key.
