Using authorized_keys2 hasn't been a good idea for a long time. See /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/NEWS.Debian.gz:

openssh (1:3.0.1p1-1) unstable; urgency=high

  As of version 3, OpenSSH no longer uses separate files for ssh1 and ssh2
  keys. This means the authorized_keys2 and known_hosts2 files are no longer
  needed. They will still be read in order to maintain backward
  compatibility.
