That would be nice, but you can see from the example Andy included at
the start of this thread that the same line of text is used with
primary keys when they are revoked.
To change the line as MFPA suggests simply requires changing line
2,687 of g10/keyedit.c (in version 1.4.11, other versions might have
the line in different places) from this:
tty_printf(_("This key was revoked on %s by %s key %s\n"),
To this:
tty_printf(_("The following key was revoked on %s by %s key %s\n"),
There are also language specific files in other directories which may
need to be updated.
To make the change you're suggesting would require additional code to
differentiate between a revoked subkey and a revoked primary or master
key. Such a change might not be trivial.
