[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#1054985: gpg-agent: missing dependency on pinentry-curses or pinentry-gtk2

Package: gpg-agent
Version: 2.2.40-1.1
Severity: important

gpg-agent needs a working pinentry program. As pinentry-gnome3
(installed by default) doesn't work on non-GNOME environments,
it should depend on pinentry-curses or pinentry-gtk2.

With just pinentry-gnome3 installed, this makes emacs completely
hang when opening a .gpg file. Replacing pinentry-gnome3 by
pinentry-curses and pinentry-gtk2 solves the issue.
