Bug#481235: HostKeyAlias does not work as expected



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.7p1-8
Severity: minor

With

  Host pulse | pulse.madduck.net 
    ForwardAgent yes
    Hostname pulse.madduck.net

  Host git.madduck.net
    HostKeyAlias pulse.madduck.net

  Host *
    # ...
    StrictHostKeyChecking yes
    CheckHostIP yes

in my .ssh/config and pulse's host key in .ssh/known_hosts, when
I connect to git.madduck.net, it adds a new line to
.ssh/known_hosts, such that the file now reads:

  pulse.madduck.net,130.60.75.74 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAAB...
  130.60.75.59 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAAB...

Shouldn't it instead add the IP to the existing line?
