If we limit SSH_ASKPASS to interactive shells, users are unable to trigger the ssh-passphrase dialog from their desktop environment autostart scripts. Usecase: I call ssh-add during my desktop environment autostart and want to have the passphrase dialog immediately after startup. For this to work, SSH_ASKPASS needs to be propagated properly on non-interactive shells.
