[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#579383: ntp: Should start gpsd first

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Although gpsd should be able to work around being started after ntp
these days, the preferred way is to start gpsd before ntp. Since insserv
reorganizes the start order, gpsd needs to be mentioned as
'Should-Start' in the init script. Patch is attached, pelase apply and
upload a fix before squeeze as it might break timeservers using
gpsd/ntpd.

Thanks,

Bernd
