I see nobody's answered yet... I guess what you want to do is to have
your -gpsd subpackage requires gpsd so if it is installed, gpsd will be
there as well?
In that case, just put the "Requires: gpsd ..." line in the "%package
gpsd" section, right beside the "Requires: geoclue = %{PACKAGE_VERSION}"
line.
HTH,
Nils
