Is there any word on this?  GnuPG upstream has now merged patches to
support socket-activation of dirmngr and gpg-agent, and gnupg2 version
2.1.15-8 has .service and .socket files for managing nice clean
user-level services.

I don't plan on enabling them globally right away (i'd love to hear more
feedback from users who have enabled them manually), but i'd really like
to be *able* to enable them in the package if we decide that makes
sense.

In the event that globally-enabling seems warranted, if there is no
explicit support by dh-systemd or any better alternatives, i'm likely to
resort to shipping symlinks in /etc/systemd/user/ :/ any other
suggestions?
