OK, I may have found the issue:
$ grep -rl Use-for-ssh ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/*
.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/0E67508AC6866D82ABB95E0B53CF5D18DC48A786.key
That’s the key grip of the master key:
$ gpg -k --with-keygrip yubikey at f76.eu
pub rsa4096 2023-06-29 [SC]
7A0FE73DDB744F0F97341DA71BE349D11B6ED589
Keygrip = 0E67508AC6866D82ABB95E0B53CF5D18DC48A786

Keygrip = 07D6164F019D2EDF59C650992CF93776B2DD17F2
sub rsa4096 2023-11-22 [A]
Keygrip = 9C67E5BBB72EF0BF2625792F8F134CE4FD961FF5
I don’t remember adding this, but I guess I did, maybe some months ago.
Anyhow, now I removed `Use-for-ssh` from that key.
I then added the keygrip of the authentication key to
`~/.gnupg/sshcontrol`. However, that doesn’t work:
$ ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.
Only if I add the key grip of the master key to `~/.gnupg/sshcontrol`,
then `ssh-add -l` is happy. But this seems wrong.
I notice that the private key stub of the authentication sub key isn’t
present in `~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d`:
$ ls -1 ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/
07D6164F019D2EDF59C650992CF93776B2DD17F2.key
0E67508AC6866D82ABB95E0B53CF5D18DC48A786.key
250CD54A263D092C462509D83D034E4BAAF73311.key
BB1D7402E4603D0C12512AB235B12FE1F4BD9667.key
*How do I generate the private key stub for the authentication sub key?*
`gpg --card-status` doesn’t do it.
