IIUC, they are only interacting insofar, that the ssh-agent will
terminate as soon as (in this case) dbus(-launch) exits.

From the manpage:

| SYNOPSIS
|    ssh-agent [-c | -s] [-d] [-a bind_address] [-t life] [command [arg ...]]

|

| (...)
| 
|    If a commandline is given, this is executed as a subprocess of the
|    agent. When the command dies, so does the agent.
