        smartcards, and iteration count calibration are bugs.

I’m pretty sure that gnome-keyring 3.14 in jessie supports smartcards
correctly.

As for iteration count calibration, this could probably patched in
gnome-keyring; at least in a Debian-specific patch, but there’s no way
upstream would be hostile to that.

As for gpgsm, I’d be wary of dropping features used by e.g. evolution to
support S/MIME before changing the default gnome-keyring configuration.
