Sure, I understand the reason for not using that code during import for
the time being.

My point is that with the current code, the key material is not saved
(with the properly ordered packets) after a manual ‘check’ command
entered in the ‘--edit-key’ prompt.  As you can see in what I wrote in
in [msg7913], this is because the ‘modified’ variable is left unchanged
regardless of the return value of ‘check_all_keysigs’.
