point taken. Randomness can be regenerated or reseeded.
Which /form/ of randomness you get will be taken from different
sources.
That's why it actually /asks/ you to hit a few random keys and move the
mouse about during the generation of the random "pool" that gpg uses

For a definitive answer (depending on your machine) simply ask
/dev/random
