Bug#276376: ITP: gpsd -- a GPS service daemon
Have you already started work on this? I was about to ITP and had spoken
to a few other developers about it but then went away for a few days.
I've done a little work already but not much.
If you'd done it already - I'd love to test your package. If not I can
help or whatever.
