Wow. Good find.
gpg-interface.c::verify_signed_buffer() takes a detached signature
in core, writes it to a temporary file and runs
gpg --status-fd=1 --verify $the_temporary_file
and the payload that is supposed to match the given signature is fed
via the standard input, so the above documentation is the only thing
that needs fixing, which is good ;-)
Thanks.
