How did you extract the data set from a key (without the function I am
about to commit today)?  Or did you initialize your own key from a
given data set?

Yes, these values form the `key'.  The values you mentioned form the
complete, secret key.  The public key is actually the same, with some
values left out.  The names and the amount of these MPI values are
algorithm dependent.
