It is actually the point of --allow-unauthenticated to skip the explicit
confirmation for unauthenticated packages and nothing else since all of
its existence… (because the 'complains' from "update" are new)

I was misreading "--allow-unauthenticated" for "--allow-insecure-
repositories" – but for the record the documentation for the earlier one
explicitly mentions the trusted option (at least in 1.4, not check
earlier).
