I am not sure... I would focus on keeping the whole set of keys safe
(I even printed a copy of my keys, and asked somebody I really trust to
store them in a safe place at her house -so I made a "remote backup").
If you need to revoke the signing subkeys, edit the whole set of keys
and revoke the signing subkey... I just did it once, so I am not 100%
sure about how to do it. If you ever revoke a subkey, check it is done
right (check you have not accidentally revoked the main key) before
sending the public key to the keyservers... if you made a mistake, you
can delete the public key, and import it from a backup or from
keyservers. And always keep a backup when you revoke things...
Best Regards
