[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#854797: pinentry-emacs in Debian

[Lev Lamberov]

Dear all,

I'd like to rise again the reporter concern [0] about availability of
pinentry-emacs in Debian, because I'd be very-very happy to see it
there. The support of pinentry-emacs is required for the pinentry Emacs
pacakge [1]. I've read the thread (and also looked through cited
upstream issues), but was not able to find any conclusion on the issue.

As it already mentioned, pinentry-emacs wouldn't be activated unless the
user explicitly set "allow-emacs-pinentry" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.

Please, let us know what blocks from providing a pinentry-emacs package
in Debian alongside other pinentry flavours?

With regards,
Lev Lamberov
