Package: gdb-python2
Version: 7.10-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The gdb-python2 package does not actually contain a version of gdb
linked to python2. Rather, it is a byte-for-byte identical copy of the
/usr/bin/gdb shipped in the gdb package, which links to python3.

I noticed that gdb-python2 has "Depends: libpython3.4", I presume this
is automatic from the list of linked shared libs.

I am also filing a followup wishlist for coinstallation once gdb-python2
works at *all*.
