So I want to create a serial key, meant for the serial vault. This key must have no password. So I run `snapcraft create-key` (which just calls `snap create-key`), which looks like this:
$ snap create-key serial
Passphrase: # I pressed enter here
Confirm passphrase: # And enter here
And instead of just creating a key with no passphrase, it actually popped up a graphical dialog box asking for passphrases again. I again didn't provide any passwords, and then the dialog asked me to confirm that I actually wanted to create an unprotected key.
Can that workflow be a bit better? snapd may need logic to determine if no password was provided in which case perhaps an extra flag may need to be passed onto gpg.

Can that workflow be a bit better? This doesn't happen when a passphrase IS provided, so snapd may need logic to determine if no password was provided in which case perhaps an extra flag may need to be passed onto gpg.
