That is right of course - but how is this security-wise? I guess in my
case it doesn't matter much though.

Whether you store the password on the same computer as the keyfile or just
a keyfile without password should not matter that much?
What kind of adversary are you trying to protect against?

I run a reprepro here with an "unprotected" keyfile and it works quite
nicely. In case you are interested in how it is implemented here, see

Follow the links to Github or further documentation as interested :)
