There are a few places that output private-key hashes:
automate genkey
automate keys
ls keys
The private key hash doesn't really identify the private half of a
particular keypair, because it's of the encrypted (depends on passphrase
and some randomization) form.
We also don't store bare private keys any more, when written out they
always include the public half as well.
Does anyone object to removing privkey hashes completely, and using the
hash of the public half instead? Mostly this would mean that "automate
keys" and "automate genkey" stanzas would have one "hash [...]" line
instead of "public_hash [...]" and "private_hash [...]" lines.
