Well, in that case all of the command line provided bits are bad :).

What I was thinking of is really more a default pass-over. So the ssh key is by
default transferred to the target system, but obviously with well visible
notification to whoever runs the installation.

Think of it in password terms: The password screen would still pop up, but the
password fields would already be filled out with the password you set on the
command line.
