Public bug reported:
The top of /usr/share/doc/python2.7-dbg/README.debug reads:
"""
Contents of the python2.7-dbg package
-------------------------------------
For debugging python and extension modules, you may want to add the contents
of /usr/share/doc/python2.7/gdbinit to your ~/.gdbinit file.
"""
The gdbinit file is installed with the python2.7-dev package, which
isn't clear from the above text, especially that it says "Contents of
the python2.7-dbg package". I would assume that installing the -dbg
package would be sufficient. Maybe add a note here or have -dbg depend
upon -dev?
