README.debug refers to nonexistent gdbinit (unless -dev is installed)

[Blair Zajac]

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?

---------------
python2.7 (2.7.3-5ubuntu5) raring; urgency=low

  * Update to 20121128, taken from the 2.7 branch.
    - Issue #9011: Fix hacky AST code that modified the CST when compiling
      a negated numeric literal.
    - Issue #16306: Fix multiple error messages when unknown command line
      parameters where passed to the interpreter.
    - Issue #15379: Fix passing of non-BMP characters as integers for the
      charmap decoder (already working as unicode strings).
    - Issue #16453: Fix equality testing of dead weakref objects.
    - Issue #9535: Fix pending signals that have been received but not yet
      handled by Python to not persist after os.fork() in the child process.
    - Issue #15001: fix segfault on "del sys.modules['__main__']".
    - Issue #5057: the peepholer no longer optimizes subscription on unicode
      literals (e.g. u'foo'[0]) in order to produce compatible pyc files
      between narrow and wide builds.
    - Issue #8401: assigning an int to a bytearray slice (e.g. b[3:4] = 5)
      now raises an error.
    - Issue #14700: Fix buggy overflow checks for large width and precision
      in string formatting operations.
    - Issue #16345: Fix an infinite loop when ``fromkeys`` on a dict subclass
      received a nonempty dict from the constructor.
    - Issue #6074: Ensure cached bytecode files can always be updated by the
      user that created them, even when the source file is read-only.
    - Issue #14783: Improve int() and long() docstrings and switch docstrings
      for unicode(), slice(), range(), and xrange() to use multi-line
      signatures.
    - Issue #16030: Fix overflow bug in computing the `repr` of an xrange
      object with large start, step or length.
    - Issue #16029: Fix overflow bug occurring when pickling xranges with large
      start, step or length.
    - Issue #16037: Limit httplib's _read_status() function to work around
      broken HTTP servers and reduce memory usage (backport of a 3.2 fix).
    - Issue #13992: The trashcan mechanism is now thread-safe. This eliminates
      sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
      chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
      types.
    - Issue #15801: Make sure mappings passed to '%' formatting are actually
      subscriptable.
    - Issue #15604: Update uses of PyObject_IsTrue() to check for and handle
      errors correctly.
    - Issue #15897: zipimport.c doesn't check return value of fseek().
    - Issue #16369: Global PyTypeObjects not initialized with PyType_Ready(...).
    - Issue #15033: Fix the exit status bug when modules invoked using
      -m switch, return the proper failure return value (1).
    - Issue #1160: Fix compiling large regular expressions on UCS2 builds.
    - Issue #14313: zipfile now raises NotImplementedError when the compression
      type is unknown.
    - Issue #16408: Fix file descriptors not being closed in error conditions
      in the zipfile module.
    - Issue #16327: The subprocess module no longer leaks file descriptors
      used for stdin/stdout/stderr pipes to the child...
