Hi,
tl;dr: none of the usecases that fail with the proposed branch work in
Tails 1.0 either, so I think this branch can be merged as-is — it only
brings the expected improvements, and nothing more.

That's expected: Seahorse does not know how to check inline
signatures, and this was not covered by Lunar's work.
Clearsign .asc:
- Tails 1.0: "Verify signature" in the Nautilus menu => "Couldn't
verify file: bla.txt.asc", "No valid signatures found".
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.2: I confirm it wrongly says "Import key", and
(rightfully) fails.
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.3: not recognized as a signature (default
application = gedit). That's thanks to Lunar fixing
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70539 in s-m-i 1.3.
Renamed to .sig:
- Tails 1.0: "Verify signature" in the Nautilus menu => "Couldn't
verify file: bla.txt.asc", "No valid signatures found".
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.2: I confirm it pretends it's not
a valid signature.
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.3: it pretends it's not a valid signature.
> * `--sign` creates a .gpg file which nautilus associates with "Decrypt

That's expected too: Seahorse does not know how to check inline
signatures, and this was not covered by Lunar's work.
Binary signature .gpg:
- Tails 1.0: "Decrypt file" in the Nautilus menu => "No data".
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.2: "Decrypt file" in the Nautilus menu (wrong)
=> (rightfully) fails.
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.3: "Decrypt file" in the Nautilus menu (wrong)
=> (rightfully) fails.
Renamed to .sig:
- Tails 1.0: "Verify signature" in the Nautilus menu => "Couldn't
verify file: bla.txt.sig", "No valid signatures found".
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.2: I confirm it pretends it's not
a valid signature.
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.3: it still pretends it's not
a valid signature.

See test results above.

I get:
- Tails 1.0: no Seahorse entry in the right-click menu, that is it
is not recognized as a key. Trying to import with Seahorse
directly => "Invalid file format".
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.2: I get "The file is of an unknown type"
instead of what anonym reported.
- feature/6608-OpenPGP-signature-verification-in-Nautilus +
shared-mime-info 1.3: Nautilus proposes me to open this file
with... Archive manager :]
So, no regressions AFAICT, but rather a bunch of missing features.
I don't think we care enough about these features to report wishlist
tickets upstream, that I don't expect to be acted upon unless we
provide patches. Thoughts?
Cheers,
