I agree, its less than wonderful, but you have to admit that supporting on
ly launchpad as a source for keys is only slightly more useful.
The current system isn't really all that bad:
Host *.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
IdentityFile /home/smoser/data/aws-smoser/ec2-keypair.eu-west-1.pem
I have lines like the following in my .ssh/config
Host *.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
IdentityFile /home/smoser/.ssh/ec2-keypair.eu-west-1.pem
# for euca hosts (match however you want)
Host 192.168.2.*
IdentityFile /home/smoser/.ssh/euca-key.pem
Then, when you create a new key with euca-add-keypair, just redirect to
/home/smoser/.ssh/euca-key.pem
