Public bug reported:
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 )
