If they did that, you could just wget a full GDB binary. It doesn't
need anything else in the package besides the executable. But I don't
think d-i does what you describe (since I tried to use this approach
for strace recently, and there were missing symbols in libc.so.6).
If someone more familiar with d-i than I am can confirm that the udeb
will be useful, I can try to get GDB to build one, but it seems like
a very strange package to have a udeb.
