Yes that is how I specified it, exactly like that.

That reports the following:

```
pinentry-mac (pinentry) 1.1.0
Copyright (C) 2016 g10 Code GmbH
License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>

I think that is the latest version, right? I still do not understand how
specifying `pinentry-program` just overrides passphrase entirely.
That's pretty dangerous I think. Or maybe I'm just misunderstood the
way it's supposed to be used.
