I am thinking about to provide gpgme to the Debian package.

The only advantage I see is the use of gpg-agent for the passphrase.
But within mutt-ng passphrase timeout is controlled via
$pgp_timeout as well.

I fiddeled around gpgme. Starting a gpg-agent via .xsession or
something similar is ok. I have to start it in a vt, where pinentry
doesn't work correctly. I can't send signed messages, because there
is no chance to tell the gpg-agent my passphrase. Maybe I've
overseen something?
