How to force recreation of the SSH host keys after the next boot of the appliance?

Regenerated during install or firstboot

SSH keys are regenerated either during installation (ISO), or on firstboot (VM/EC2) using this script:

/usr/lib/live-installer.d/20regen-sshkeys

Note that the SSH daemon needs to be restarted for changes to take effect:

/etc/init.d/ssh restart
