systemd does not know about GnuPG process locking mechanism used to
avoid double spawning of these daemon.  I would recommend against that.
The GnuPG processes know better when to start a tool and a future
release may add another daemon to be started or killed on the fly.

And yes, I should write a patch for ssh to auto-spawn gpg-agent. 


Salam-Shalom,
