It makes sense to depend on gnupg.

pinentry, less so, because I thought enigmail would cache passphrase
(but I read an old manual, so maybe that has been ripped out now that
gpg-agent exists).

pinentry-qt not working is a bug, and I think it's not good to encode
that in other packages dependencies.  So if just depending on pinentry
isn't ok, then perhaps pinentry should be fixed, rather than pointing to
pinentry-gtk.
