Perhaps something like this PAM module is more like what you want?

http://pamsshagentauth.sourceforge.net/

This is *not* libpam-ssh in Debian.

I'm not sure how much this differs in practice from just running with 
password login disabled on sshd and giving your users NOPASSWD though. 
Of course running random PAM modules is perhaps less-optimal than just 
living with NOPASSWD and forced key authentication.
