Bug#545295: use-gpg-agent versus ~/.xsession
Currently, x11-common has various bugs regarding its starting of
ssh-agent, most of which relate to giving users more control over it.
Rather than introducing a new option which will have similar problems,
why not just start gpg-agent via ~/.xsession instead? That gives you
total control over it, and removes excess complexity from the x11-common
package.
To the extent Xsession.d should support starting a gpg-agent, why not
make this a completely separate package, along the lines of
x11-session-gpg-agent, depending on gnupg-agent and containing just a
single file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-session-gpg-agent_start?
