[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#834368: gnupg: update to gnupg2 broke gpg-agent autostart

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.14-5
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear all,

I am relying heavily on gpg-agent to provide ssh keys from my
hardware token.

This worked without too many problems with the previous
	/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent
With the update to 2.1 this file has changed considerable and 
states now that
# On systems with systemd running, we expect the agent to be launched
# via systemd's user mode (see /usr/lib/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service
# and systemd.unit(5)).  This allows systemd to clean up the agent
# automatically at logout.

Well, I have systemd running, and now I have *neither* ssh-agent
nor gpg-agent running, having a hard time logging into servers
where the only authentication method is by keys, and I need the
hardware dongle key.

Do you have any idea on how to fix this complete misbehaviour?

Thanks

Norbert
