Seb, That is correct its no longer possible to provide custom providers,
so it would either require teaching the ubuntu GeoIP server the
Geolocate API or merging ubuntu-geoip directly into geoclue as a
location source.

There was a one point a geoip client in geoclue-2.0 but it got dropped when GNOME switched to using Mozilla Location Service. It should be possible to do something similar for ubuntu-geoip support

Bug description:
  Geoclue2 (source package geoclue-2.0) is a separate, parallel-
  installable version of geoclue1 (source package geoclue).  We will
  likely shortly have both in main (see MIR bug 1388294) and it would be
  great to be able to demote geoclue1 to universe and only support one
  version of the service.

  The packages associated with this bug all have a reverse depends on
  geoclue1 in some form or patches to remove support for geoclue-2.0
  because it wasn't in main yet (e.g. gnome-settings-daemon).

  Porting from geoclue-1.0 to 2.0 apparently isn't terribly trivial.
  But we have at least six months to do it.
