I'm happy to report that I finally got a working setup by doing the
following:
- removed gpg2, gpgme, gpa, kleopatra
- added "no-use-agent" to gpg.conf
- unchecked "Use GPG-agent to manage passwords" in Claws Mail (3.8.1)
- copied the udev rules from privacyfoundation.de to /dev/udev/rules.d
- removed /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop

Now I have gpg version 1.4.11 that works with the cryptostick without
sudo and provides encryption services to Claws Mail automatically.

Thank you again for everyone that helped me with this.
