I do not quite follow.  If you are personally setting "always
interactive" somehow, would it be possible to solve the issue more
directly by unsetting "always interactive" here?  After all, the
"${GNUPGHOME}" we see in the test helper library is not referring to
your setting but our throw-away setting used only during the test,
so...

This patch, without any explanation in the proposed log message,
gives an impression that '--import-options merge-only' somehow must
be inserted before '--homedir "${GNUPGHOME}"'.  If that is truly
required, the reason why it must be done before --homedir needs to
be explained in the log message.  If not, inserting before --homedir
is making the patch unnecessarily misleading.  If the lines were
like so:

-		gpg --homedir "${GNUPGHOME}" 2>/dev/null --import \
-			"$TEST_DIRECTORY"/lib-gpg/keyring.gpg &&
+		gpg --homedir "${GNUPGHOME}" 2>/dev/null \
+			--import-options merge-only \
+			--import "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/lib-gpg/keyring.gpg &&

the patch wouldn't have forced readers wonder why the new option
has to come first.

But as I said earlier, there needs a better explanation why it helps
to have --import-options to squelch prompts---the cause-effect linkage
is a bit too weak to make a convincing case to support why this is
the right fix to a problem worth fixing.

Thanks.
