Comment (by twim):

 > The correction is wrong. The first 20-byte field is a SHA1 hash of the
 RSA identity key.
 OK, I see.

 > Is there something that made you think it was the Ed25519 identity key?
 Yes, we do sign non-RSA identity keys (Ed25519 or others in the future)
 and it's unclear what keys we also need to sign here (the term "identiy
 key" is pretty ambiguous). It should be specified that it's the SHA1 of
 the "signing-key" then, I guess.
