Does anyone know why kicad-install.sh does this?

for p in ${prerequisite_list}
do
   sudo apt-get install $p || exit 1
done

Rather than something along the lines of this:

echo "${prerequisite_list}" | xargs -d"\n" sudo apt-get install


The long prompts for permission to install each package have, erm, 
aggravated some users, and adding -y isn't quite the right choice IMHO 
as it removes the user's ability to veto the package list.

Any chance of changing it?
