This was really interesting. Thanks for that tip (all of you). :)
Updated a key the other day, in a more manual way.

What about updating sub-keys…

$ gpg --with-colons -k 0xlongid | awk -F: '$1=="fpr" {print $10}'
0123…
4567…
8901…
2345…

Any convenient way to automate that, or can I just loop it? …something like:

$ for k in $(gpg --with-colons -k 0xlongid | awk -F: '$1=="fpr" {print $10}'); do \
> gpg --quick-set-expire ${k} <time>; done
