I apologize for upsetting you.

Before I filed this particular bug, I checked that source gpsd is on
the Key Packages list. It will NOT be auto-removed.

https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/key_packages.yaml.cgi

It is a "serious" issue in my opinion, just not "urgent" for gpsd-clients.

There is a lot of really old, unmaintained stuff in Debian that hardly
anyone cares about. They might not even be noticed until the package
has been removed from testing for a while. I don't think for those
packages that it makes sense to keep those packages in Testing for
several more months of our release cycle.

Feel free to lower the severity at this time for these bugs for
packages that you care about.

I intend to file the rest of the pygtk rdepends bugs soon, many at
"serious" but some I will file as "important".
