Bug#1032394: libqt5positioning5-plugins: Serial NMEA plugin is missing



Hi,
 
>> It would be good if the serial NMEA plugin could be added
(libqtposition_serialnmea.so), so serial port / USB GPS devices can be used
directly

>I remember looking into this when I've got to package it. Looking at the
build log [1] I think it needs the Gypsy GPS Daemon, which I understand it
is not packaged in Debian.

The serial NMEA plugin doesn't need Gypsy GPS Demon. (The plugin is for
directly accessing serial GPS devices). There is a separate plugin that uses
Gypsy.

It does require the qt serial port package though (libqt5serialport5), and I
can't see being referenced in that build log. Does it need to be added as a
dependency?

Cheers,
Jon
