No, it appears when I run "apt update".

I had a similar problem with gvfs (see bug #852696) but in the case of gpg-agent the logs give less information about which apt add-on is responsible:

Jan 27 10:53:26 hostname gpg-agent[1816]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.1.18 starting in supervised mode.
Jan 27 10:53:26 hostname gpg-agent[1816]: using fd 3 for ssh socket (/run/user/0/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh)
Jan 27 10:53:26 hostname gpg-agent[1816]: using fd 4 for browser socket (/run/user/0/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.browser)
Jan 27 10:53:26 hostname gpg-agent[1816]: using fd 5 for extra socket (/run/user/0/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra)
Jan 27 10:53:26 hostname gpg-agent[1816]: using fd 6 for std socket (/run/user/0/gnupg/S.gpg-agent)
Jan 27 10:53:26 hostname gpg-agent[1816]: listening on: std=6 extra=5 browser=4 ssh=3

Here is what my system has in its apt config:

I'll try to isolate the responsible package as time permits...
