The problem is that the tools I know only look for broken ssh keys
(dowkd.pl, ssh-vulnkey) and none of them address other problematic areas
like certificates, dnssec-keys (although Lutz Donnerhacke mailed all
people running zones with broken keys) and so on. 

If you take a look at <http://debian.wideopenssl.org/> there are so many
applications which might have broken keys even on non-Debian systems
that I think offering a tool for just ssh keys might give people a wrong
sense of security, if they don't find broken ssh keys on their machines.
