Bug#787786: gnome-keyring: please introduce a dependency on pinentry-gnome3

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.16.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Control: affects -1 pinentry-gnome3 gnupg-agent

pinentry 0.9.3-2 now produces a pinentry-gnome3 binary that uses gcr
for prompting and has a checkbox to enable the user to cache their
passphrase in the system keyring.

This is part of a larger project to reduce superfluous dependencies on
headless servers that use GnuPG while improving the user experience
for desktop users of GnuPG (see also https://bugs.debian.org/753163
and https://bugs.debian.org/765406).

Thanks for maintaining gnome-keyring in debian!

Regards,

        --kg
