Hi Thorsten,

these days gpsd's udev rules require systemd. There is no sense in
supporting sysvinit anymore without loosing those documented and
supported features.

Running gpsd in a non-automatic way requires manual configuration and is
not supported from me, if you are in the need of that you usually want
to run a current git version anyway.
