bug with one key's private keys spread over several keyrings when signing keys

According to the man page, --export-secret-subkeys does not omit the
secret part of the primary key, but "renders it useless". IIUC the given
keyrings are searched in order, and you have confirmed that it's indeed
useless when found before the intact one.

GPG does not seem to have functionality to strictly "spread" a key over
keyrings. So this would be a feature request, not a bug.

Cheers,
Hagen
