For one key: "--edit-key" and "clean". To make it automatic for all
import operations you can use options in gpg.conf file:

    import-options import-clean
    keyserver-options import-clean

I like clean export too, so:

    import-options import-clean
    export-options export-clean
    keyserver-options import-clean,export-clean
