What, you mean like Debian, Fedora, etc? Not sure it's worth it with our current optdepends arrangement..

Maybe simply adding a provide field to all the split packages so when installing pinentry asks which pinentry-frontend should I install... Would not works?

Splitting the package so that GTK2 is no longer needed in any package in [core] might be a good idea.
