SUB KEYS

Right. You have the DSA signing key, with DH (ElGamal) subkeys. You would
add them to the keyring, and set their exp dates sequentially, of course.

Note that no one should ever use ElGamal Sign and Encrypt keys. There are
serious potential problems with them. (There are people who disagree with
this, so I don't want to start a flame war here... but I must advise
strongly against using ElGamal signing keys.)
