We are already working on that, see:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20550

and the recent discussions on gnupg-devel mailing list, to make
gpg-agent (and pinentry) respect the INSIDE_EMACS envvar:
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2015-June/029915.html

Now that all patches had landed in both GnuPG (2.1.x) and Emacs (git
master), maybe people who demand on this feature could try it, so it can
be safely backported to the GnuPG stable series?
