The purpose of ltsp-update-sshkeys is to write out a configuration file.
That configuration file isn't changed by anything later in the install.
I am asking for the differences in that file before and after he fixes it by
re-running ltsp-update-sshkeys, so that I can see what was wrong in the
first place.

If the file is empty, then the most likely cause is that sshd is no longer
running when late_command is executed, due to the architectural changes in
the installer.  ssh-keyscan exits successfully and outputs nothing if it is
unable to contact sshd.

This is easy to fix, at a small cost of some additional logic, by changing
ltsp-update-sshkeys to avoid using ssh-keyscan and get the keys directly
from the filesystem.
