The last time I ran an analysis[0] the number of subkeys was 3,283,781
for 3,526,879 primary keys. These numbers surprised me somewhat as it
only account for 93.11 of pairs having a subkey at all on average.
Upon looking a bit more into this a fair amount of certificate only
and uses such as package signature keys were detected. For instance,
analysing primary keys with only one subkey, and subsequently looking
into the key usage flags I came up with the following table:

+----------+----------+
| flag     | COUNT(1) |
+----------+----------+
| c        |       12 |
| ca       |      125 |
| caCA     |     1047 |
| cC       |       37 |
| ec       |       38 |
| eca      |        2 |
| ecaECA   |       10 |
| ecEC     |      122 |
| esc      |     4922 |
| esca     |     5765 |
| escaESCA |    24939 |
| escESC   |    48296 |
| sc       |     4713 |
| sca      |     1128 |
| scaSCA   |     2815 |
| scESCA   |        1 |
| scSC     |    20967 |
+----------+----------+
17 rows in set (0.05 sec)

I have not yet had time to look deeper into the data, though.

although the subkey data was subsequent data based on same dump and
not reported in that article.
