Remove the option.
Seriously. I think key preferences ought to be considered analogous to
"--cipher-algo": you can tweak them if you want, but it's not
recommended and should be hidden from the user by default. If a user
uses the --expert flag while --edit-keying, then present it. Otherwise,
make an executive decision on a reasonable preference set and be done
with it.
