If so, please advertise it :-)The package pinentry-x2go is a fork of the pinentry src:package back in Debian sarge or etch. It has been maintained in parallel and provides pinentry functionally to X2Go Client. It probably is not usable in any other context.I fail to understand your logic. Yes, this is specific to a context. Just as pinentry-qt4 is specific to a context and pinentry-curses is specific to a context. If I wanted to install a Debian system solely usable in an x2go context, I am currently forced to pull in either of GTK+ or Qt or ncurses libraries as well, because gnupg-agent (correctly!) depends on pinentry and pinentry-x2go (incorrectly!) does not provide that virtual package. I believe that declaring virtual package is wrong only if common pinentry ABI is not supported. Seems you confuse that with whether other interfaces (specifically the UI interface) is usable only within its own scope. - Jonas
If you want to use pinentry with gnupg-agent, then please get one of the pinentry-<xyz> packages that already provide pinentry.
If you want to login to an X2Go Server with X2Go Client and use GnuPG smart card authentication, then please install pinentry-x2go, X2Go Client will know how to handle that pinentry(-x2go) dialog. The package pinentry-x2go only has this single use case.
The package pinentry-x2go is not intended to work with gnupg-agent or similar tools used with the common pinentry-<xxx> packages.
Or am I not getting your point (or you not mine).
