You have a point here, starting gpsd just because someone plugged in a USB to
serial converter is not a good idea, indeed. I've added a sysconfig variable
for gpsd to control the behaviour of the script, and it is disabled by default.
About gpsd running as "nobody": this is done by design (not that I agree with
it, it should have its own user id,) but this is best discussed with the
upstream maintainers.
