Actually I was a bit confused, the cpp part is linked into libgps. Instead it
would probably make sense to add a line about cpp support to libgps-dev.

Also I decided to add a -dbg package with the next upload - my idea of the
description was:

Description: Global Positioning System - debugging symbols
 The gpsd service daemon can monitor one or more GPS devices connected to
 a host computer, making all data on the location and movements of the
 sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947.
 .
 This package contains the detached debug symbols for gpsd, gpsd-clients,
 python-gps and libgps18.


Please take a look at it :)

Thanks,

Bernd
