Yes, please file a wishlist for KGpg on b.k.o and I'll see to get this done for 
SC 4.8. There currently is no interface to create a revocation certificate for 
an existing key. You are however asked if you want to create one with a new 
key.

I don't think complaining about a revocation certificate on every upload is a 
good idea. But maybe we could do this with a dont-show-this-dialog-again 
thing. Please file a seperate wishlist if you want this implemented and provide 
some good arguments to convince me.
