Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdb
Big gdbtui binary file (3 MB size) from gdb package should be moved to separate package, like other gdb interfaces, eg. cgdb. This will save about 1,5 MB on LiveCD, as gdb is included in LiveCD's (gdb is needed for apport and bug-buddy)
gdbtui is special advanced text (console) user interface of gdb (it also can be invoked through gdb --tui), AFAIK it's not needed for bug-buddy or apport, so, why this interface in included in gdb package, while other gdb interfaces (like cgdb) are packaged separately?
Currently gdb package is about 3MB size (uses more than 6 MB after unpacking), if you package gdbtui separately then size of gdb package will be only 1,5MB !
