[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#833481: gnupg: please document that --yes doesn't (usually?) work without --batch

[Adam Borowski]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.14-3
Severity: normal

Hi!
I've just wasted a bunch of time trying to figure why --yes doesn't work as
documented (and neither works, eg, "yes|gpg").  It turns out the option is
silently ignored unless --batch is also specified.

Not sure if this applies to all prompts or just --delete-keys I tried it on.
