Thanks for the comments.  I'll ask him and the list, since I have been
still worried about the threshold between intrusive vs. non-intrusive
features...

The empty keyring is automatically created by epa-list-keys (gpg
--list-keys).  So I think the missing feature is an interactive
key-generation command in epa-key-list-mode.  (The API functions
epg-generate-key-from-* are already there but some work is needed to
implement the command).
