Unfortunately I don't know how exactly is Ubuntu's magic is implemented.
I've been using this shell script as a wrapper for ssh for a while:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ]; then
# See if ssh-agent has any identities, and if not, add some
ssh-add -l > /dev/null || ssh-add
fi
exec /usr/bin/ssh "$@"
If you change it to invoke ssh-add </dev/null and put it somewhere in
$PATH before /usr/bin (~/bin is a good place), it should do what you
want.
