Description Göran Uddeborg 2022-11-25 21:57:39 UTC 
The systemd.service manual page recommends using "Type=simple" whenever possible. The systemd service manager works best with processes that do not forks and exits in the parent but rather just runs. By adding -D on the ExecStart line in ssh-agent-service ssh-agent will do this, and the type of the service can be changed to "simple".

Sorry, it doesn't look like a good universal solution.
Comment 2 Dmitry Belyavskiy 2022-11-29 17:23:55 UTC 
I was wrong closing this bug. Please apologize me.

At least Debian runs ssh-agent with -D so we also need to consider this decision. Thank you for bringing it and thanks to Jakub for fixing my fault.
