You do realise that this makes the asymmetric key config option into a
top-level option?  I think, logically, that's the wrong thing to do.  They
should still appear under the crypto menu.

Note that I think your patch is really the wrong solution.  The right solution
is to fix the configuration tools - but that's quite an undertaking.
