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. David
