 Looking at the description of https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/commit/03c756a541a6e97dee5f2352129b5cd0b3108b67 it intended to drop
 support for a number of Apple-specific features that were now part of the
 upstream, but the launchd support for ssh-agent was also removed. The
 launchd functionality is not present upstream, and this makes ssh-agent no
 longer work correctly when started from launchd, which is necessary to
 work around the default ssh-agent in Catalina and above.

 I've tested out a patch that restores this functionality.
