That seems strange indeed. Some clarification is needed. Perhaps it's part of the whole NIST suite that's disabled right now?

It appears to be used only in tinysshd-printkey to print the key's fingerprint.

The fingerprint is 47 characters when printed, the key itself is 64. Since the key is so short does the fingerprint still server a useful purpose, or would it be enough to print only the key?
