As it is possible to start the Daemon at boot time and the hotplug script will tell it to use the additional device, I didn't see a reason why I should change this during the freeze. The bug will be addressed with one of the next uploads, which will happen when upstream releases 2.38. Although I'll upload a svn snapshot to experimental before probably.

Bug#495842: Starting gpsd on hotplug seems broken
Package: gpsd Version: 2.37-6 Severity: normal Please forgive me if I have misunderstood how this is supposed to work. I want gpsd to start when I plug in the USB device. debconf asks me this question: Start gpsd automatically on boot? This isn't what I want so I say no. It asks no other questions and saves this in /etc/default/gpsd: START_DAEMON=false USBAUTO=false As expected, /etc/init.d/gpsd looks at this and doesn't start gpsd at boot. When I hotplug the device, /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper is called and does this: [ $START_DAEMON = true ] || exit 0 Since START_DAEMON is false, it exits. So I think there are two problems here. Firstly, if I say no to starting on boot, debconf should ask me about hotplugging and set USBAUTO based on my answer. Secondly, /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper should not exit immediately when START_DAEMON is false (I'm unsure whether the rest of the hotplug script should or shouldn't run in the case when the daemon was started at boot). I have tested this on my system by (a) editting /etc/default/gpsd to set START_DAEMON=false and USBAUTO=true and (b) reversing the sense of the test in /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper, and it now seems to do what I wanted.
