Alright, so first thanks for digging here.  Looking over the tools, for
verifying the signature we don't need to decompress the contents as we
are just checking the signature.  For dumpimage it's also OK to dump a
compressed file and leave it to regular tools to decompress.  Do you
want to make a patch to guard the existing section and CONFIG_IS_ENABLED
it or should I and Suggested-by you?  Thanks!
