Include a pinentry GUI that's well integrated within GNOME
Originally created by @intrigeri on #9555 (Redmine)
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:

It’s called pinentry-gnome3 and is already available in Debian sid.
For Tails/Jessie, we should consider replacing pinentry-gtk2 with that
one :)
