No. As filesytems only tend to get slow with *lots* of files, and not
even Debian has that many users. The benefit of not having to patch ssh
compared to the slightly (nanoseconds, milliseconds? not noticable i
think) longer lookup for the key is too huge to keep a monolithic file, imo.

But for people who fear the impact it is optional to use it, default
off.

Well, Debian is not for newbies so the documentation problem is not
really huge
