--list-keys doesn't show expired subkeys

Description

Not really a bug: I'm just wondering why "gpg --list-keys" doesn't show expired subkeys (you have to add "-v" to get these)

Fix

The reason that they are not shown by default is that the
key listing might become too confusing if you have a short
key roll-over period (i.e. dozens of expired subkeys)

Uhm, didn't think about that case (I thought expiring (sub)keys were the
exception, not the norm). Thanks for clarifying.
