Yeah. - The migration to a new build system. With the last changes I commited upstream I think it should be possible to build proper Debian packages again. Will take some time to change everything, though. The scons mess^Wscript was not able to build properly versioned libraries for some time and is still failing to remove rpaths properly from the created binaries (or relink them properly). - Massive API and ABI changes which should require changes in all packages which link gpsd. - Unfortunately also some lack of time. and missing motivation due to the amount of work introduced trough the first mentioned point... But I'll try to get a package into experimental soon at least.
