Okay, apparently we misunderstood each other.  You meant "given that
we're already talking about a case in which the user cares about the
algorithms," and I was thinking you meant "whenever a user generates a
key, the fact they're generating a key makes the choice relevant."

So long as the user explicitly asks to be given that level of detail,
then yes, I think your proposed text would be a good idea.  :)
