Details

Seahorse contains a useful app called seahorse-ssh-askpass, which could be used by other apps (e.g. palimpsest from gnome-disk-utility) to ask SSH password from users. The only thing what is needed to set SSH_ASKPASS variable to the correct path.

So my proposal is the following:
1. Add an seahorse-ssh-askpass.sh script to /etc/profile.d/ folder, which points SSH_ASKPASS to /usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass if available
2. Add x11-ssh-askpass to provides.
3. Add openssh to optdepends for generate ssh key and use seahorse-ssh-askpass.

Packages, that contains similar settings: openssh-askpass, ksshaskpass, gnome-ssh-askpass2 [AUR]

I attach a modified seahorse package that contains these changes.
(application/x-gzip)    seahorse-3.2.0-2.src.tar.gz (1.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

zenity --password might be another option for SSH_ASKPASS.
