I checked shisa now.

We might have run a bit in the wrong direction...

When going the shishi_key_from_name() way in shisa, salt
isn't set correctly and doesn't go into the newly created
dbkey.

I don't know, what the right way out of this is.
Maybe Shishi_key should know the salt, maybe
shishi_key_from_name should output the salt. I don't know,
really.
