This sounds... funny, since the ssh agent is made to manage a *user*'s priate
keys. Typically it is started for a user (of course, most of the time it is
started by some automatism, e.g. the user's session init, but most definitely
not "the OS").

Hi Tomas,
I got the impression from messages in Debian, when I tried to disable
the ssh-agent service and socket as a user. It does not seem possible
without breaking the OS. In this respect I'm just a user, and expects
things to just work. I'm not going down this rabbit hole, I've neither
got the time, nor sufficient knowledge.
Best regards,
Peter
