Forget about the secret key.  The signature on it are really used.
Updating some of the properties is a relict from previous versions;
modern versions don't care about it and secret key rings will anyway
be removed.  Creating a proper OpenPGP secret key will eventually be
done at export time from the public key and the required secret key
parameters.
