Hi maintainer,

unfortunately yet another major API and ABI breakage happened
in libgps on the way to gpsd version 3. The result is that your
package does not build against gpsd 3.3/libgps20, which is
available in experimental.

Details why this had to happen are described here:
http://www.catb.org/gpsd/protocol-transition.html

Unfortunately the progress to implement this took a long time,
including gpsd 2.95 which was released with Squeeze and shipped
with a slightly different API and ABI.
Migrating to the new and hopefully final API should be easy,
if there is help needed either ask me or jump into #gpsd
on the freenode network.

The error messages from my test build are attached below.

Best regards,
