Bug#1067169: gnome-control-center: Disable location services?

[Jeremy Bícha <jeremy.bicha@canonical.com>]

Source: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:46~beta-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-mobile@lists.debian.org

Mozilla has announced that it will be disabling third party access to
the Mozilla Location Service June 12. This is used via geoclue-2.0 to
provide a variety of services across Debian desktops, in particular in
gnome-control-center.

GNOME has recently proposed a build option [1] to hide the
location-related settings in gnome-control-center. I'm told that
geoclue can also work with GPS so the settings might be useful for
people using Debian on mobile devices. However, I think we need to do
what's best for the vast majority of our users. I'm filing this issue
for awareness in case anyone wants to contribute alternate ways of
handling this situation upstream to GNOME.
