The key fingerprint makes an excellent match criteria, e.g.

        DeleteLinesContaining "AAAAB3NzaC1..."
        AppendIfNoSuchLine "from=\"10.1.1.1\" ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1..."

Define your keys in the control section:

control:

        joe = ( "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1..." )
        bob = ( "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1..." )

editfile:

        { /this/.ssh/authorized_keys
        AutoCreate
        Backup "off"
        DeleteLinesContaining "$(joe)"
        DeleteLinesContaining "$(bob)"
        AppendIfNoSuchLine "$(joe)"
        }

        { /that/.ssh/authorized_keys
        AutoCreate
        Backup "off"
        DeleteLinesContaining "$(joe)"
        DeleteLinesContaining "$(bob)"
        AppendIfNoSuchLine "$(bob)"
        }
