Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package claws-mail-pgpmime recommends pinentry-gtk2,
which is currently not available in unstable.

In:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pinentry

It shows the binaries and there is no pinentry-gtk2. Actually, it was
deleted in the version 1.3.2-4 of the package in March 2026:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pinentry/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/changelog?ref_type=heads#L26

I am not familiar with that packages. I see that the binaries provides
"pinentry" so perhaps instead of recommending pinentry-gtk2 it could
recommend pinentry? (and a concrete package after the virtual package if
some could be the default?).

Thank you!
