Bug#978991: hokey lint complains about 256-bit keysize for ed25519 and cv25519 keys (but it should not)

Version: 0.23.1-1+b1

"hokey lint" provides a red "256" next to the algorithm/size notes about
ed25519 and cv25519 keys.

I don't think it should warn about this size -- these asymmetric
cryptographic sizes are widely considered to have roughly the same
cryptographic strength as the symmetric AES128.
