Binary package hint: seahorse

Public SSH keys can't be imported into Seahorse, either copying or from the File dialog.

When copying any public key from Launchpad directly in the "Trusted keys" tab, the key is somehow changed or interpreted as an OpenPGP key.

When tyring to import it via the File > Import dialog in Hardy there is an "Invalid file format" error. The file I try to import is named "pubkey.asc", saved using the "Save this page" feature in Firefox when displaying public keys in Launchpad.

When tyring to import it via the File > Import dialog in Intrepid it silently fails.

This may be related to Bug #150654 , Bug #230537 or both.

I am filing a new bug as I am only interested in public keys importing, as a part of setting up public key authentication for SSH access/tunneling.
