ssh-keygen: inconsistency with need for passphrase

[Felipe Gasper]

Hello,

	I think something is inconsistent between the code that parses -e and
-y options in ssh-keygen.

This command:

ssh-keygen -ef key_file

...will never prompt for a passphrase; however, this one:

ssh-keygen -yf key_file

...will prompt for it, despite that it returns basically the same
information as -e (in a slightly different format).

	Or am I missing something? I didn’t see anything on the man page to
indicate a rationale for this.

-F
