Seems like the easiest thing in this situation is to have the ability for someone on the ground (flight control, the airline, etc.) to be able to override any locks on the cockpit and open the door. Just put some sort of satellite communication device outside, near the door of the cabin.
This would be available in a situation like the Germanwings flight, or if the pilot became legitimately incapacitated.
