By design? i.e. those messages are considered important.
Apropos of -y, I don't recommend "assume yes" unless I've (-s) simulated
the apt-get /first/. "--trivial-only" is less dangerous if you haven't
done a dry run first.

It's recommended *not* to do this:-
apt-get -yq=2 install shootfoot #should work
apt-get --force-yes -q=2 install shootfeet bothbarrels #will work,
untested, obviously
