Well, that's the argument for having at least primary/cert key and encryption 
subkey not *only* on the smartcard but also in a safe place somewhere.

For a signature subkey it doesnt matter then if you lose it (just make a new 
one), and for an authentication subkey you need to prepare to have some 
alternative means of access (or also a backup).
