Right now it's hard to know upon decryption whether one should trigger decryption or not. Having wal-e relate the suffix of a key (`s3://foo/bar/baz.gpg.lzo` for example) to the pipeline used for decompression is a blocker for release. Relatedly, wal-e needs to know how to apply a suffix when it generates a key name should the key's data be encrypted.
