Thanks.
I found in the end that if I simply ignored the question
all went well.
I'm slightly puzzled by this - as far as I can see
the wizard that asks this question only comes up
if one _doesn't_ have a key set.

If you actually have a default key the wizard does not come up,
so the question seems sort of pointless.
