I think that select is broken in its behaviour - it doesn't propagate the
selection enforcement up the tree. You could try changing it to a depends on
or you could put in a select for every dependency. I'm not sure there are any
other options - unless we turn big_key into a module and institute autoloading
of keytypes on demand.
