Description:
The gpsd package installs and references a default configuration file as /etc/gpsd
At the same time gpsd itself has a builtin functionality which allows to include additional configuration files in a directory called /etc/gpsd.

From gpsd man page:
"When a device is activated (i.e. a client requests data from it), gpsd attempts to execute a hook from /etc/gpsd/device-hook with first command line argument set to the pathname of the device and the second to ACTIVATE. On deactivation it does the same passing DEACTIVATE for the second argument."

Observed in package version 3.16-4

Steps to reproduce:
install gpsd, verify default configuration file at /etc/gpsd
This task depends upon
