Just a heads-up for the next pure-wheezy version:
Upgrading gpsd from 2.95 (squeeze, and installed in v55) to 3.6 (wheezy)  
results in gpsd no longer recognizing the GPS chip.
Not sure if this is an error on my side but:
I have installed v55 from the linked source. While playing around with  
additional packages, I had to uninstall and reinstall gpsd.
At this point, apt chose the wheezy package for gpsd (3.6).
After the upgrade, QtPedometer, qtgps don't get any data. NeronGPS even  
hangs when initializing the GPS chip.
Downgrading back to gpsd 2.95 fixes the problem.

with gpsd 2.95 - the DEVICE line appears after starting NeronGPS

and with gpsd 3.6:

[no DEVICE ever appears]

Btw: why does only NeronGPS show the number of visible satellites in the  
status bar?

Best,
