This also breaks things that set a 'no damon policy' in invoke-rc.d as gpg 
spawns these daemons rather than creating dirmngr or gpg-agent as service units 
that could be socket activated.

One such error path is when using cloud-utils mount-image-callback to
mount up an image, and install new packages and then umounting.  The
unmount hangs as dirmngr process has an open filehandle against the
mounted filesystem.


The easiest recreate is to:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:<some ppa>

on a yakkety system.
