[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#883005: gpg2 too annoying about lack of a passphrase

[Ian Jackson]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.0.26-6+deb8u1

If you try to get gpg2 to generate a subkey with no passphrase, it:

1. Prompts you for the passphrase, so you click "ok" without
   entering one.

2. Warns you that the passphrase too short, and asks you to 
   confirm to proceed anyway

3. Warns you that a secure passphrase has at least 1 somethingorother
   and this one doesn't, and asks you to confirm to proceed anyway

4. Warns you that you should have passphrase, and asks you to 
   confirm to proceed anyway

5. Asks you to re-enter the passphrase, so you have to click OK again

At least 3 of these 5 prompts are superfluous.

Ian.
