Package: general

I wondered why Debian comes with geoclue-2.0 and gpsd running by default (which 
could be used for location tracking). Please do not install them by default or 
if you really must, please do not make them autostart.

At most it could be useful for a few users if it was installed but not enabled 
and not running by default (so just an option one could enable in the configs 
or which could be enabled by the user through a prompt). If it's running by 
default this also means that after upgrades it could be running again. This is 
a privacy issue, an undesired bloat service that requires to spend time to 
remove it, and a larger attack surface even if there was a proper and 
vulnerability-free permissions-management for GPS-location-access.
