Right.  If you want to revoke a subkey we can assume that you still have
access to the primary key and thus it is possible to create a specific
revocation.  If you don't have access to the primary key anymore, a
subkey revocation does not make sense because you can't create a new one
- in that case revoke the entire keyblock using the prefabricated
revocation.
