I was under the impression "key 0" deselected all subkeys and the man
page agrees with me :-). From the man page:

The important difference is that you could do

and select subkeys one and two. But either

or

will not select the primary as well as two subkeys. You can, however,
use "key 0" to return to extending the expiration of just the primary.

TIL, "*" will select all subkeys. I did not know that.

HTH,

Peter.
