Too large of a patch for a very special setting.  And we have a proper
solution already.

Do you know that you can have a /etc/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf file which is
read before the ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file?  This might already help - I
don't know the details of flatpack, though.

What you can also do is to examine an environment variable and set the
rspecive options depending on the envvar.  For example assuming you have
a INSIDE_FLATPACK set to a non-zero value:

[getreg flatpack INSIDE_FLATPACK]
[if $flatpack]
  change-std-env-name -WHATEVER
  change-std-env-name -OTHERTHING
[fi]

Either in the global or in the local conf file.
