On the other hand, we do have control over the descriptions in the RPM
packages.  When this issue came up last fall, I filed a bug to make sure
that the word "keyring" appeared in the description field for seahorse,
so that it would at least show up in the results of 'yum search
keyring'.  That bug has not been acted on since I filed it.  I just
updated the version to 12.
