As a workaround for myself I've built a version of the gnome-keyring
package that is compiled without ssh support and so it doesn't act as a
SSH agent...

I've attached a debdiff which will do the above, you just need to build
the package, alternatively, i've submitted the package to my PPA and you
can grab it from there (once it's been built by the PPA system).

This may or may not be the way Ubuntu wants to deal with this bug so i'm
posting this purely as a workaround, although one could argue gnome-
keyring-daemon isn't mature enough to be a ssh-agent since it doesn't
handle -c / -t options to ssh-add. (LP: #209447)

Dev-note: The debdiff (patch file) change to Makefile.in might seem odd
but it wouldn't build without that change since it was still depending
on libgkr-ssh.la which wasn't going to be built and I'm not really a
Makefile kinda guy so I just made it always compile libgkr-ssh.la so
it'd at least build (this is quite possibly a separate bug for the gnome
guys)...
