Debian and the FSF have different positions on the GFDL. Consequently, the GDB release tarball includes GFDL documents which must go in the Debian non-free section. To produce the necessary tarballs, download an official GDB release as .tar.bz2 from the FSF. Run debian/sanitize-gdb.sh on it. That will produce a gdb .orig.tar.xz and a gdb-doc .orig.tar.xz -- Samuel Bronson , Sat, 3 May 2014 17:22:31 -0400
