I believe we wouldn't want an SRU to break universe apps either,
especially apps in GNOME "core" regardless of whether they are
included by default in Ubuntu.

I think it uses geoclue along with a database maintained in
libgweather. libgweather is minimally maintained so it may not be
precise enough for some people, but libgweather has been in Debian
since 2008 so it should work in most cases.

Thanks,
