gpsdrive maintainers:

This bug has been open for a month already and is the last thing
blocking the transition of the new version of mapnik to testing.  I'm
therefore planning on uploading an NMU to fix it in a couple of days'
time, unless there are any objections.  If you'd rather fix it
yourselves then that's obviously fine, but please say so. :-)

Regards,

Adam
