Well that's the easy part. Just make two entries in the
.ssh/authorized_keys file, one for each key.

Now the trick is putting a proper, usable, secure "command"
directive for each one. It should change the user ID from
the dummy account's (the owner of the .ssh directory and
files) to the individual's account.

I'd be happy to discuss how to safely do this here. I think
it could be useful. I quickly tried it right before I
responded originally and decided that it deserves more
thought than I was willing to spend then.
