You probably want just the RSA or DSA public key to be unique. Otherwise you will treat different versions of what is essentially the same key as being different. (This might be due to be signed by a different set of keys.) I suspect that this isn't what you want. I think even the craziest people are using keys that should be around 1000 bytes. Paranoid people (or those needing very long lived public keys) are using ones half that size.
