Bug Description

In current jaunty, during bootup gpsd starts before the bluetooth services.

I have set up, following guidelines, my bluetooth gps mouse as /dev/rfcomm1.
If I start up jaunty, gpsd does not talk with the gpsmouse, even if the mouse is activated only after bootup.
This seems to be a problem not unique to ubuntu as described on the gpsd bluetooth page, http://gpsd.berlios.de/bt.html .
As a workaround, I used:
rc-update.d -f gpsd remove
rc-update.d gpsd defaults 80
(bluetooth starts at 74)
With that, after bootup, gpsd is in a usable state.

Distribution: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04
Package: gpsd: Installed: 2.38-1ubuntu3

Looking at the current bluez source:
DEB_UPDATE_RCD_PARAMS = "start 25 2 3 4 5 . stop 74 0 1 6 ."

which is the same as in Debian.
I'll change the default start to 26 and stop to 73 to start it before libvirt and stop it after libvirt.
