Ok. But is there a way to export a _single_ subkey? I definitely need such
option. Specyfying subkey ID after --export-secret-subkeys exports all
subkeys (tested).

'I' didn't do --export-secret-subkeys od na v3 key. What I did was to use
--export-secret-subkeys without a parameter which, I assumed, would export
only subkeys, thus not affecting a legacy v3 key without one.
