Dear Maintainer,

is it intentional, that this package contains an init script for the
package "gpsd", while gpsd version 3.27.5-0.1 contains an init script
/etc/init.d/gpsd

I would have expected, that this package contains only init scripts for
packages, that don't provide an init script themselves.

Kind regards
Markus

For what it's worth, looking through snapshot.debian.org:

/etc/init.d/gpsd reappeared in the gpsd binary package between
3.22-4.1 and 3.25-1~exp1.

(Having previously gone away between 3.17-7 and 3.18.1-1.)
