/usr/share/doc/gnome-keyring/README.Debian

No remedy for not starting gnome-keyring-daemon is included in that file.
Removing gnome-keyring-daemon from 'Startup Applications' only changes
the desktop file to 'hidden' in $HOME/.config/autostart. I've removed
the desktop files from '/usr/share/gnome/autostart', '$HOME/.config/autostart'
and '/etc/xdg/autostart', yet gnome-keyring-daemon persists in starting.
Please tell me how to keep it from starting.

Afaik gnome-keyring-daemon is started from PAM. So if you really want to
stop it from starting carefully comment out its lines from /etc/pam.d/.

On the other hand disabling the SSH agent functionality described at
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Ssh works pretty well.
