I basically agree. We shouldn't break Hoary that close to the release with doing
such changes. However, I like Thomas' proposal with a separate key file anyway;
sooner or later we have to support WPA too, and will get the same problem. So we
should aim to externalize the key file (if this is relevant to WPA) for Breezy.
