Thanks, Carsten. I had actually had the same thought after writing my post
last night, though I was thinking of making it a hard link to ddns-confgen
rather than dnssec-keygen.

(Question: is "ddns-confgen -q" an appropriate and useful format?
I've never understood why anybody would want TSIG keys in .key/.private
form, but there may be a use case for it that I've overlooked.)
