Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

Seahorse seems not to have a tool to create a revocation certificate which is 
an fundamental step after having created private and public key. In fact this 
is a security issue (you can read this in all gpg guides) as if your key was 
compromised, or you lose you personal passwd, you can only inform the "world" 
about this revoking the key with a revocation certificate.
I think it should be useful to prompt for creating the revocation certificate 
just after having created you own private and public key (this option should be 
obvioulsy always provided also after this initial step)

I have tested this issue in Hardy Heron and seahorse 2.22.2
