Description of problem:

This is a very minor gripe, but GPG and SSL keys in kickstart are implemented in the kickstart file in an ugly way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart Profile and add some GPG keys to it.
2. Examine the resultant kickstart file.
  
Actual results:
The resulting entry in the kickstart file has the gpg key as plain text piped in to a temporary file and then imported, this this takes up 40+ lines of the kickstart file when it could easily be done with 1.

Expected results:
Spacewalk should add gpg keys as a web accessible text file (in the same way it does for the kickstart file itself) and then could be imported in the kickstart file like this;

rpm --import http://spacewalk-server/rhn/keys/fedora-updates

This would make the resulting kickstart file much simpler and cleaner.
