It might be useful to know that the osgeo live dvd (based on
debian/xubuntu) is also using a more recent gpsdrive version.
I have no time to review the installation script, but perhaps it
contains things which might be useful for the debian package:

Package: gpsdrive

Severity: important
The version of gspdrive in the Debian repos is very old and needs to be
updated. the current version of the package doesn't even work as a GPS
program due to an incompatibility - the main purpose of the program.
The new version of gpsdrive has lots of bug fixes and changes the application
quite a bit (the build system has even changed).
I would ask that someone package the new gpsdrive so that it becomes a usable
application for what it was created for. I started some of the work looking
at the patches that had been incorporated etc. and updated the patches that
are still needed, the can be see in this ZIP

(NOTE: The new version of gpsdrive using cmake)
