You are right.
Here's the explanation from 1.4.9:
deluid: Delete a user id. Note that it is not possible to retract
a user id, once it has been send to the public (i.e. to a
keyserver). In that case you better use revuid.
So, what's to be done is Revoque all obsolete UIDs, and use Primary in the
EditKeyMenu to flag the current user ID as the primary one.
And after maintenance, upload the key to a KeyServer.
