not sure if it is a bug, at realized at the tinderbox, that this package let left these processes:

$ pgrep -a gpg-agent
30663 gpg-agent --homedir /var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/core --use-standard-socket --daemon
30696 gpg-agent --homedir /var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/sphere --use-standard-socket --daemon
31530 gpg-agent --homedir /var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/core --use-standard-socket --daemon
31549 gpg-agent --homedir /var/lib/monkeysphere/authentication/sphere --use-standard-socket --daemon

Hi Toralf, thanks for your tinderbox efforts :) 

But indeed, in this case it is expected behavior; gpg agent is launched when gpg is invoked and runs until it is killed or the socket dir and/or homedir is cleaned up; which doesn't normally happen in operations, but would happen e.g if  if monkeysphere is uninstalled. During setup monkeysphere actually creates a secret key pair that is used as a trust anchor / root CA at which point is needs gpg-agent (that does all secret key operations in >=2.1)

That said, it is slightly more interesting that it is two processes for each homedir available, but not enough to look into as a bug.
