Actually that's wrong, the generation process leaves “fingerprints” which can
be used to identify keys. See for example:

https://keychest.net/roca
https://github.com/crocs-muni/roca

These tools have been used to identify three vulnerable (sub)keys in the
Debian keyring (this is already been taken care of).
