I do it by hand, via command-line gpg. I don't think there is any way to
automate it outside of an expect script. But my basic process is:
1. gpg --edit-key foo, select all uid, sign them, quit
2. gpg --export --armor foo > foo.asc
3. gpg --edit-key foo, select all but one uid, deluid, save
4. gpg --export --armor foo > foo_1.asc
5. gpg --import foo.asc
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional uid.
