All the versions in testing are fixed already. (see also https://bugs.debian.org/766108 which discusses the same issue). I agree with you that being able to copy/paste is better for both usability and security than not being able to, but i also don't think this is a grave bug. If you've tried a newer version of pinentry, and you find you can't copy/paste, please report back here! Regards, --dkg
