If padding is enabled, gpg compression should be disabled, to not leak
clues about how well the files compress and so what kind of file it is.
## chunk key hashing
A chunk key should hash into the same directory structure as its parent
key. This will avoid lots of extra hash directories when using chunking
with non-encrypted keys.
Won't happen when the key is encrypted, but that is good; hashing to the
same bucket then would allow statistical correlation.
