You can change the path to authorized_keys as it is done in my ssh puppet
module (http://forge.puppetlabs.com/thbe/ssh). The next version of this
module will give you the possibility to deploy usernames with keys as
parameters but I'm not sure when I'll find time to implement this. Till now
you have to put the username key files manually in /etc/ssh.d/
