  1)  If the key is the one you use on Savannah, you should know the
  passphrase

   2) since ssh-askpass asks you, the key is authorized on the host
  you are logging to which means the question is not *that* stupid.

   However, what you can do is rename it. In case you need it afterwards,
  rename it back to id_dsa and id_dsa.pub and eliminate
  ssh-askpass-gnome ! However, if you prefer to eliminate
  ssh-askpass-gnome, feel free to do it and eliminate the other package
  which is (as said by another) simply a meta-package only used to install
  "everything that should go on an ubuntu desktop".
