4. With some scripting it should be possible to extract the public key
out of an existing binary kernel. So there is no real need to change the
already complicated build process which might make it even more
complicated.

BTW: With "more complicated" I meant that it isn't just done with making modules_install depend on the private key. That would end up with the following when the public key exist but the private key doesn't:

- kernel is build including the public key
- private key (and thus the public key) will be generated newly
- modules will be installed using a key the kernel doesn't know about

So the solution to just delete both keys looks for me still like the most easy and thus preferable way to implement that feature with just a few line of changes.
