That is, accepting the autostart option _isn't_ necessary. Thank
you. So correct the template:
- _Description: Start gpsd automatically on boot?
- Necessary for USB autodetection, but it also might be appropriate if the
- GPS receiver is permanently attached to this computer. Alternatively it
- can be started by running gpsd(8) manually.
+ _Description: Start gpsd automatically?
+ If you accept this option, gpsd will be started automatically.
+ Autodetection of USB GPS devices requires a running gpsd.
