You maybe didn't receive my answer sent from gmail web-interface, so I repeat it now from mutt.

Usages of derived keys that I can see:

kernel space:
    derive keys from "trusted" (with possibility to access from user space if proper permissions are set);
user space:
    store passwords within keyrings;
    randomly generated keys, keys with payload given as hex string.

What's your opinion on having derived keytype?
