Package: gdb Version: 7.1-1+b1 Severity: wishlist gdb is stripped, which is what most Debian binaries are, but they usually have a -dbg package with the symbols. gdb doesn't, which means you can't debug gdb crashes easily. See #592475, it would have been useful to have the symbols to look around a bit more.
