Unfortunately, it's a little hard to override the flags because
different flags are passed in in different situations.  For example, in
some cases, we need the --status-fd output to properly determine whether
the signature is trusted or not, and people can either pass in a key ID
or not when signing.  There isn't really a way to make things abstract
in a useful way since there are so many possible permutations.

It should, however, be possible to write a wrapper around Sequoia or
other programs that would provide the necessary behaviour if you'd like
to use a different implementation.
