Include a pinentry GUI that's well integrated within GNOME
For various reasons (#5931 (closed), #5419 (closed)) we’ve moved from GNOME’s own
implementation of a GnuPG agent to the regular gnupg-agent +
pinentry-gtk2. Sadly, the latter is badly integrated in GNOME. The
good news is that GNOME will drop its own implementation of the agent,
and instead a nicer pinentry GUI is being developed:

- https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2015-May/029835.html
It’s called pinentry-gnome3 and is already available in Debian sid.
For Tails/Jessie, we should consider replacing pinentry-gtk2 with that
one :)
