More, if were to further split the initramfs integration.  For instance
in the case of OpenPGP smartcards, pinentry-gtk (the default pinentry
flavor) will suffice for the normal system, but pinentry-curses |
pinentry-tty is required for unlocking to work at early boot stage.

Tight dependencies are great, but is it really worth it for a package
with just a dozen of lines of shell code and 10× as much meta-data?

Cheers,
