Well, there are several levels of being "quiet" in gnupg. This is
well known and AFAIK a few Debian and Ubuntu bug reports complain about
this, but upstream authors have decided to not change the behavior.

However, your problem maybe partly is related to the wrong ordering of
options. The string "requesting key ??? from ??? server ???" should not
be printed if --quiet is used according to g10/keyserver.c. I'll check
again asap.
