Two wrongs don't make a right. Another established part of the etiquette is to
never upload someone else's key without explicit permission. Lots of
keyservers don't do subkeys and you don't really have the implicit permission
to overwrite signatures on those machines. To do so would be at least as rude
as not publishing a public key that's needed to verify a signature in a public
mailing list.
