I've always specifically refused to do this because it's very common for
insufficient entropy to be available at boot time, resulting in weak
host keys on systems that have been configured this way. There was an
academic study a while back of weak host keys on the internet where this
sort of thing was one of the likely causes.
You can configure your own VMs to do this kind of thing via cloud-init
or whatever, but I'm afraid I don't intend to put it in the default
configuration.
