shall not require a valid torrc for --keygen

Currently I do have to fake a torrc at the system where I do create new mid-term signing key from the master key. The reason is that I do create the keys not under the user id under which the Tor (client) of that system is running:

cd ~/hetzner/mr-fox/install/var/lib/tor/data
echo "" > /tmp/torrc
tor --keygen --SigningKeyLifetime '3 months' --DataDirectory ./ -f /tmp/torrc
rm /tmp/torrc

I do wonder if there's an easier solution?
