gpgconf --launch ignores gpgconf.conf?

Hello,

I'm working on making ssh agent startup script (for DE) work[1] and I would 
like gpgconf to start gpg-agent with 'enable-ssh-support'.

$ cat /etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf 
* gpg-agent enable-ssh-support

$ gpgconf --list-config
k:*:
r:::gpg-agent:enable-ssh-support::

But it doesn't work, 'gpgconf --launch gpg-agent' starts it without required 
option:

$ ps -U maciek -x | grep gpg-agent
 4570 ?        Ss     0:00 gpg-agent --homedir /home/maciek/.gnupg --use-
standard-socket --daemon
 5843 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --colour=auto gpg-agent

$ ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

I know I could enable it in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, but that's not the point.
Is this bug-report worthy or (more likely) I'm missing something obvious?
This is gnupg-2.1.15 (it seems there are no patches applied on top of it).
