Installing Vanilla gpsd

I'm trying to install the "vanilla" gpsd via opkg, i.e. not fso-gpsd.
However, opkg insists on installing fso-gpsd instead:

# opkg install gpsd

In fact, even when I try to point opkg directly at the right package,
it still goes wrong:

# opkg install http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/armv4t/gpsd_2.34-r9.02_armv4t.opk

What's going on here?  Is this a packaging problem, or is there some
other way to get the vanilla gpsd without pulling in bits of FSO?
