random ssh keys (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ gnome-keyring

Browse source 
assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.

Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use such
keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard ssh key
names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/, which gnome-keyring will
not check.

Note that neither I nor #debian-devel were able to quite reproduce this
problem, but I believe it exists, and that this fixes it. And it certianly
won't hurt anything..
