Package: gpsd
Version: 3.22
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rgovos...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The lead developer of gpsd says that, "You should always use the '-n' flag"[1].

However, GPSD_OPTIONS in /etc/default/gpsd does not default to including it.

Version 3.22 has a bug (fixed in 3.24 I believe) in which PPS devices are not
properly used if -n is not passed.[2]
