Package: gdb
Version: 8.2.1-2+b3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Section 12.1 of Debian Policy states: Each program, utility, and function
should have an associated manual page included in the same package.

The package "gdb" is in violation of that policy since the man page is
not in the same package, but in the gdb-doc package.  I expect man pages
for programs to be available without needing to install additional
packages.

Please fix this package to follow Debian Policy.
