I would agree with that. Having it enabled for everyone, I'm not sure.
You should consider adding it to /etc/skel if you have several users and
you want it to be pre-configured for every user you wall add.

Choose a desktop agnostic one : keychain will automagically start
{ssh,gpg}-agent or use one if it is available. I find it nice to log in
into my desktop computer on the morning, unlock my SSH keys, and then
when later I'm moving, I can log back to my desktop and from there use
my SSH key to login to further machines. I guess it depends on your
computing habits. And well, I you really want only one daemon, you can
still tell keychain ot use gpg-agent's --enable-ssh-support (I never
tried).

Just add to your .${SHELL}login :

keychain
. ~/.keychain/chameau-sh
. ~/.keychain/chameau-sh-gpg
