Public bug reported:
On xenial, ssh-keyscan returns zero indicating success, when the command
fails.
root@cp1:~# lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
root@cp1:~# ssh-keyscan -H -t ssh-rsa bad-host
getaddrinfo bad-host: Name or service not known

0
On trusty, the exit status is non-zero as expected.
