Package: gdb Version: 7.10-1+b1 Severity: normal It doesn't actually seem very likely that the majority of users of gdb will use gdbserver on the system they installed gdb on. Users may want to install and use gdbserver on a target system, but in that case the target system seems unlikely to need gdb itself, and the system connecting to that target seems unlikely to need gdbserver itself.
