Au contraire, adding the missing dependency from the gpsd package would
JUSTIFY python3-gps as a separate package.  That's WHY you have library
packages, isn't it?  Because they're needed by more than one other
package.

Useful, unless any other internal dependencies of ubxtool get
overlooked along the way.  And on that note, NB: ubxtool ALSO depends
on python3-serial for accessing the GPS without gpsd (eg, -f
/dev/ttyS4) which is kind of useful if you have to configure the GPS
device before gpsd can use it.
