No idea what the status was back in 2.33.
Since 2.34 it was disabled for good reasons, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442467 for example.
It is fixed since 2.37-1, working around the mentioned bug by a debconf
question.
If you update to the latest Ubuntu release you should be able to enable
hotplug support manually as described in
/usr/share/doc/gpsd/README.Debian.gz.
Somebody should backport 2.37-4 for Feisty propbably... Or just use
Debian, recent gpsd versions for Etch are available on backports.org.
