Shouldn't the commit message have more details about WHY we are checking
in a private key? The conversation last time included useful gems such as:

Some guests require the key to exist prior to provisioning the guest,
and reusing a pre-built key avoids consuming entropy every time the
testsuite is run.  Because the private key is well-known, care must be
taken to use the key ONLY in situations that cannot be compromised by
external network clients.
