The KDB is actually pretty malleable, and can be modified with scripts
using dump and load.  The keys themselves are encrypted in the master
key, but that shouldn't be a problem since a script can just treat those
as opaque values.

So, if the AFS3-salted entries aren't needed, they could be removed,
which I think would cause the default salt to be used (which would then
work against the des-cbc-md5:normal key data entries).
