Well, that might be technical correct, but it doesn´t solve my issue as an 
user.

I want no confirmation dialog *and* dirmngr is dependency of kdepim module 
which I like to keep installed completely.

Before I didn´t have the confirmation dialog. So from my user point of view 
this is well, probably not really a regression, but a change I did not ask 
for. As a user I do not care how the check is designed, I want it gone. It 
just doesn´t make any sense to me on a *laptop* with one keyboard attached. 
Especially as both sessions are on *one* seat, thus if I understand a seat 
correctly *one* combination of input devices and display which is usually used 
by *one* user.

Any suggestion on how to get rid of it?

I am also willing to carry this upstream if necessary. Cause usability wise 
this just doesn´t make any sense for a laptop. Not at all. IMO.

Thanks,
