You may clean as you retrieve from the keyserver. In gpg.conf include the
following for a keyserver-options line

keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve include-subkeys include-revoked import-clean

You may omit the include-* options as you see like

Adding 'export-clean' will clean keys (yours) when you send them to the keyserver.

'import-clean' and 'export-clean' may also be included on the respective
import-options and export-options lines. Those do not affect keyserver operations
