If I remember correctly the reason for this is that the pgp authors
want to force the pgp users to *read* the manual.  I second that this
is a good idea.  People who are new to pgp have to read the manual
to understand what asynchronous keys are, how signatures are dealt
with and what they mean and to be careful with the passphrase.

If I were the pgp maintainer I would close the bug report with 
this message.
