Hi all,
.sugar is what needs to be removed to undo the name, color, etc.
After repairing and flashing an XO with os767.img, I boot the XO,
install the latest activities, and Ctrl-Alt-F1 to another terminal,
rm -r /home/olpc/.sugar, and send it off. ssh keys are not
automagically generated on first boot, last time I checked.

Something which would be nice to have is a publically accessible
webroot with a clean os767 build, chown -R'ed 444(read-only for all)
Best,
