To speed up the migration and to not annoy you by asking for your
passphrase for each private key, GnuPG defers a part of the migration to
the time when you have to enter the passphrase anyway.  This is what
happened here.

Please be aware that future versions of GnuPG _may_ update the file with
the private key to record certain meta data.
