I'm a little surprised by this version of gnupg-agent -- i don't think
it's available anywhere in debian for quite some time.

My guess is that you're using pinentry-gnome3 and preferring it over
pinentry-gtk2 -- there is a bugfix for gnupg-agent in unstable at the
moment (2.0.28-3) to pass through DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, and it is
already present in 2.1.6, which should be uploaded to experimental
sometime today or tomorrow.
