[Wishlist] another level of logging

Hello - got a small wishlist item here:

The currently available LogLevel settings (according to the man page)
are:

QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE and DEBUG.

Using "INFO" causes messages about RSA key re-generation to appear in
the auth logs.  However using the next-lower LogLevel of "ERROR" causes
client IP and port to not be reported in the auth logs.

I was hoping for some level in between those two which would include
remote IP and port (and protocol) but NOT include the RSA key
regeneration messages.  Any chance of getting a new LogLevel for this?

Mainly it's because I have auth logs sent to a line printer and it uses
quite a bit more paper and noise having those key gen messages logged.
;-P

Thanks.
