Please could you expand on the "Impact" section? I don't currently follow how this bug affects actual users.

There is also the conffile prompt to consider. What if a user installs this update, has a modified /etc/default/gpsd, but doesn't see the prompt? Will that system not receive this fix? For the SRU, would it be better to adjust /lib/systemd/system/gpsdctl@.service to handle a not-set USBAUTO variable? I'm unable to assess this because I don't yet understand the problem you're trying to fix.

Won't that cause an unwanted conffile prompt on future release upgrade?
