Ok. Here is a patch that does this. I still think there should be a
warning when trust is set, but I'm clearly not convincing enough about
this.

Might still be worth adding "--ident" as a parameter anyway, but in that
case only to help the distros that need it. Or not, because they already
have a way to deal with it.
