Gpg-agent checks whether a smartcard which features an authentication
key to be used by ssh is available.  Such a smartcard based
authentication key is used by gpg-agent to authenticate an ssh session
without the need to first import the ssh key.

Ignore this diagnostic if you don't have a suitable smartcard (e.g. an
OpenPGP or Belgian eID card).
