Configuring gpsd with Deb Wheezy and a few past versions of Ubuntu has 
been a breeze.  Just run

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd

answer a few questions and it worked like a charm.  With Debian Jessie I 
get the following:

tsi at sxf-tsi:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd
Warning: Stopping gpsd.service, but it can still be activated by:
   gpsd.socket
Creating/updating gpsd user account...
tsi at sxf-tsi:~$

Anyone know how to bring up the configuration dialog with Deb Jessie? 
Should I just edit /etc/default/gpsd directly?
