The generic public key code should *not* see the container wrappings (ASN.1
from an X.509 cert in this case).  The public key could be supplied by OpenPGP
instead, for example, or directly by a driver.

No in this case it's fine because the format of our key input
specification just happens to coincide with the input here.
