this one is nice, if you export data from your gps device and like to convert 
the track/route/waypoint data from/to various formats
-> no required, but recommended.

not needed

it's the first time I'm seeing that...
not needed

required, but only when compiled with mapnik support

> libdate-manip-perl			?
> libdbd-mysql-perl			?
only needed to get data out from an old mysql waypoints db

> libdbd-sqlite3-perl			?
> libdbi-perl				?
required to load gpx data into the waypoints db, will be included directly 
into gpsdrive soon.

> libfile-slurp-perl			?
> libgd2-noxpm				?
I guess some old dependencies, not used anymore?

> libgda3-3				?

> libgda3-postgres			?
removed since svn2452.

> libgdal1-1.5.0				?
there have been plans to use gdal someday somehow...
but as I can't see a place where it is used today, we could also remove it, 
until it is really needed.

I have no clue why these should be required for anything...

no clue...

> libpq5					?
required for the experimental street name display, when a mapnik database is 
present (needs only the database, no compiled-in mapnik-support)

> libwmf0.2-7				?
> libxerces-c28				?

java?!!?!
remove!

remove, I would say...

> proj					?
used for mapnik?

> python-mapnik				?
used for the map generation script, to prerender mapnik maps without gpsdrive 
running.
not required, but maybe a recommendation?

where do all these strange dependencies come from?!?!?
these packages have nothing to do with gpsdrive.
maybe joerg mixed them up with the josm-dependencies?

remove?
