For the record, we also need this is functionality. One of the possible
scenarios is having a provisioner who doesn't have a reliable Internet
connection and might want to fall back to (less secure) OOB actions if
it cannot obtain OOB public key.

We've been planning to send a patch implementing a D-Bus API for that,
but it's not ready yet :(
