Public bug reported:
The description of the package cpp-13-x86-64-linux-gnu is:
A macro processor that is used automatically by the GNU C compiler
to transform programs before actual compilation.
This package has been separated from gcc for the benefit of those who
require the preprocessor configured for x86_64-linux-gnu architecture but not
the compiler.
Between this description and the name of the package, one would expect
this package contains only the preprocessor. However, it actually
contains the compiler binary /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/cc1.
It seems to me logically that /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/cc1
ought to be in the package gcc-13-x86-64-linux-gnu, whose description
says it is actually the compiler. If there is a good reason for it to
be in the cpp package, then at least its description ought to be
changed, if not its name.
