Please wait until 2.1.16 is released (or backport the fixes for the
"--supervised" options to dirmngr and gpg-agent), and then use the the
socket-activated .service and .socket files that we're shipping in
debian:

    https://sources.debian.net/src/gnupg2/unstable/debian/systemd-user/

This will provide you with exactly what you're looking for, and it will
have the additional advantage of not actually running the daemons until
they're needed.

I've asked upstream to include these .service and .socket files in the
upstream git repo to make them easier to find, but that hasn't happened
yet.
