For my case, it's 2.1. For desktop, I'm using Debian on Wandboard.
In Debian, gpg-agent used to be started by
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent. Now (with 2.1.13-x in experimental),
it is not.
Since I also use gpg-agent for SSH, it makes sense to start gpg-agent
when I login. Currently, I'm testing systemd. I think that the
feature of "systemctl --user" is good.
When I use VT console, I want to use to curses version of pinentry on
the terminal, while I want to use window version of pinentry on X. I
use UPDATESTARTUPTTY of gpg-agent to switch.

Thanks for your suggestion. I modified following this suggestion.
Tested and pushed.
