I did this *already* on my system long time ago (before your information).
But the (non-) settings appear to have no positive consequences, so I
guess, these auostart setup is ignored on debian8.

gpg2 --card-status
gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work properly - please configure that tool
to not interfere with the GnuPG system!


The only way which works for me is to "unset GPG_AGENT_INFO as in (for
example)


$ unset GPG_AGENT_INFO ; icedove &

or

$ unset GPG_AGENT_INFO ; gpg2 --card-status



And as far as I understand, only new GPG versions >= 2.1x will ignore
GPG_AGENT_INFO settings,

So something is totally weird wirg gnome & GPG.

GPG and Debian and Gnome people: *_/please fix it!/_*
