That ought to work. SSH just calls a helper process, which has to print
the keyphrase to stdout. Where it gets the keyphrase is irrelevant.

The current helpers come from openssh-askpass (which is built from
the main ssh package), so we'd have to add gnome-keyring-ssh-askpass
there.

To be honest, such a helper has been somewhere on my to-do-list
for two years at least :)
