The answer is: it is a feature.  Documenting it is actually among my
TODOs[1].  If you would like to add something to any of the articles,
please feel free to contribute.

In case sending SSH keys is not possible or complicated for you, you can
send a patch, I can commit it for you.  In any case, I will try to
update the articles when I can find the time.

Cheers,
