[Bug 828585] [NEW] ssh client prioritises ssh-agent keys over -i

Public bug reported:

I have many ssh keys loaded into my ssh agent. If I specify a specific key on the command line with ssh -i, the ssh client still offers all of my agent keys before trying the one I specified.
This has the unfortunate consequences of:
 * hitting login attempt limits on (many?) ssh daemons
 * slowing down the login process

** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
