Sorry, just seeing this discussion now.  What happened was that the
newest version of osm-gps-map added gobject introspection, so Python
bindings can be automatically generated.  The older python-osmgpsmap
bindings I believe are deprecated now.  I haven't had the time to set
up a rawhide system to do any testing though but probably what needs
to happen is make sure that anything that used the older bindings get
ported and then the old bindings be retired.  AFAIK the only thing
that used the bindings is Gramps, but I haven't used that in a long
time and turned over ownership.
