I apologize. I confused what Fedora does with what debian does.
Fedora removed all the gpsd runtime X checks in favor of always installing X.
Which Debian does not do.
But Debian does patch gpsd a bit. The patches are here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gps-team/pkg-gpsd/-/tree/master/debian/patches
And Debian does remove build time checks for runtime dependencies:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gps-team/pkg-gpsd/-/blob/master/debian/patches/ignore-test-xgps_deps_check
And Debian does require the user to install more packages then gpsd git
head does. As seen here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gps-team/pkg-gpsd/-/blob/master/debian/control
And, or course, Debian splits files up in ways gpsd git head never
envisioned.
Your packages, your choices. Linux is choice.

On what we 100% agree. Not a gpsd problem.
