Title:
  ssh-agent upstart script should not run when gpg-agent is used

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As mentioned in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1244736 the ssh-agent 
upstart script does not check if an ssh-agent instance is already running. This 
is bad, but fixing this bug does not prevent ssh-agent to be launched when 
gpg-agent is also used. The gpg-agent upstart script test whether gpg-agent is 
used or not using the following line:
      grep -qs '^[[:space:]]*use-agent' "$GNUPGHOME/gpg.conf" 
"$GNUPGHOME/options" || { stop; exit 0; }
  This should be used to decide whether or not to run ssh-agent.
  (Note that the gpg-agent upstart script does not work properly currently 
because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg2/+bug/1257706 )
