It's rather infeasable to keep the same private key and generate a new public key. If you keep the private key after the expiration of the certificate, you can still decrypt messages encrypted to it; thus, if you generate a new pub/priv pair, you just need to keep the old key, and use all the keys you have to try to decrypt until one works.
