Public bug reported:

The systemd unit file

/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.service

starts gpsd with the '-N' flag for a non-daemonised instance.

Removing the flag prevents systemd from calling the gpsd at all.

The service needs the removal of the '-N' flag so the gpsd can fully
function, and insertion of 'Type=forking' to enable it to read its own
configuration file '/etc/default/gpsd'

Attached is a patch, if I've done it correctly.

** Affects: gpsd (Ubuntu)
