[pkg-fso-maint] Bug#603989: fso-gpsd doesn't actually support the current gpsd protocol

[Joshua Judson Rosen]

Package: fso-gpsd
Version: 0.8-3.1

The fso-gpsd package description says:

    The fso-gpsd daemon provides a functional subset of gpsd interface
    to client applications, while using the services of the
    freesmartphone.org frameworkd daemon.

... but the `functional subset of gpsd interface' is only of a
deprecated protocol.

gpsd and libgps have moved to a different protocol, as per:

    http://gpsd.berlios.de/protocol-evolution.html

The old protocol has been deprecated for some time, and support for it
is due to be removed from both gpsd and libgps, which means that many of
the client applications that fso-gpsd is supposed to be supporting
can be expected to become unsupportable within the lifetime of Squeeze
if fso-gpsd is released as-is.
