[lug] Debian 8.0 Jessie and gpsd

[Gary Hodges - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi.  I also posted about this on a Debian forum and generated one single 
word response.  "systemd".  The Debian forum I posted on has been down 
so I haven't been able to follow-up that response, but I have spent some 
time looking into it and haven't made much progress.  At this point I 
don't know if systemd was a flippant response, or if I am missing something.
