I have used GPSD on quite a large number of Raspberry Pi cards,

I find that no distro gets gpsd auto-start correctly.
One of the problems that I run into on OpenSUSE with NTPD is that
there's kind of a chicken and egg thing happening with Shared Memory
that was related to permissions.
NTPD needs to start first to create the shared memory segment that GPSD
can use. However, since GPSD isn't available, the GPS clocks aren't
available to NTPD. What I end up doing is after boot is re-starting
GPSD, and then re-starting NTPD.
Another issue is the auto-baud/search feature in GPSD. It means that
it's not available, or at least kicking out anything useful for a few
minutes. I've improved that by adding:
/usr/bin/stty --file=/dev/ttyS5 speed 38400
to bypass auto-baud.
I'm running from memory here, but that's what I remember happening.
I always just put the gpsd start in something like /etc/init.d/local
You are likely using the raspbian flavor of debian and their scripts
have been resistant to our changes.
