Title:
  config IdentityFile entries ignored with agent

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a pair of ssh config entires which look like:

  Host host1
      User serge
      Identityfile host1key
      ProxyCommand none

  Host cloud-*
    User ubuntu
    StrictHostKeyChecking no
    IdentityFile ~/some/path/cloudkey
    ProxyCommand ssh host1 nc -q0 %h.cloud %p

  If I'm logged in through unity, ssh -vvv cloud-* shows that it tries all
  of the ssh keys under ~/.ssh instead of the named IdentityFile.  I
  assume ssh would eventually get to trying host1key, but the remote end
  (host1) refuses the login before getting to that.  It should try
  the listed IdentityFile first.

  Note:
  I had a set of password-less keys under ~/.ssh for testing purposes.
  gnome-keyring-daemon auto-loads those, so that doing 'ssh-add -D'
  doesn't help.  When not running gnome-keyring-daemon, you can avoid
  this by only loading the needed keys into the ssh-agent.
