Title: Extend authorized_keys module for use with alternate AuthorizedKeysFile ...

Is that better?

The goal of this module is to allow for those of us with alternate implements of the AuthorizedKeysFile parameter in sshd_config to be able to utilize this module effectively. If you want the parent directory to not be owned by the users set manage_dir=no and specify the directory creation earlier in your process.
