two weird things about "cert-policy-url" (1.2.4)....

1) if a cert-policy-url is specified (in the config file), policy URLs are
added even to keybinding signatures. this does not appear to be a
violation of rfc2440, but it does seem weird.

2) if a subkey has it's expiration date updated (to generate a new
keybinding signature) with no policy-url specified or a different
policy-url, the old policy-url remains intact. there appears to be no
simple way to either change or get rid of a bad policy-url from a
keybinding signature.
