Thanks for the tip. Do you know if this is needed also for GNOME (or
other FreeDesktop) session users? Within GNOME, on Debian testing, I see
that my running gpg-agent process is already a directly child of systemd
(PID 1), but I'm not sure if that's because it has been started by it,
or rather because the GPG process who originally spawned it is now gone.

FWIW gpg-agent/dirmngr are currently _not_ marked as enabled in my user
session, I've checked with (systemctl --user status).

Thanks a lot for your work on GPG dkg, I'm really thrilled to see gpg2
becoming the default!

Cheers.
