Well, they do when they have me help them!

Maybe cgps should be split into a 3rd package on debian then.  When I
just wanted to install cgps I had to install xgps and other clients
and then it seemed like the whole world got pulled in and that was courting
disaster on my embedded system.

All cgps needs is curses, can you fix the package to cgps (a tiny progam)
gets installed if curses is installed?  Or make it a separate package?

BTW, I still can't get the debian gpsd autostart to work for me.
