Before you forget what you did, try to put your steps in an email so we
can improve the build.txt.

I'm not sure why.  I see no advantage over just starting gpsd on boot
with a simple script.  You can't wait to start gpsd until just before
you need its data.

No, if a dependency reinstalls the Jessie gpsd you could over-write your
work.  The /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin split is there for many good
reasons.  Leave /usr to the OS, and limit yourselve to /usr/local when
possible.

When you installed from the tar ball you installed newer man pages, you
do not want to have binaries and man pages from different versions.

You just need to get your PATH and MANPATH to point to the new
/usr/local copies of the stuff you installed.  Maybe a debian person
can point you to the debian way to do so.

Or, more likely the same day when you wake up...
