Well it would only depend on MODULE_SIG, and switching it on and off again
would do exactly what it says it's going to do: either regenerate the signing
keys every time, or don't if they already exist.

I would have to actually change the logic slightly so it works strictly as
intended though. So no, this isn't merge-able at all.

I was more wondering if implementing something to this effect would be okay, so
we can strictly define the behavior at build time (no surprises).
