gdb-arm fails to install
I just tried installing our lovely new gdb-arm-linux and
gdb-arm-linux-gnueabi packjages but found that there is a problem:
Selecting previously deselected package gdb-arm-linux-gnu.

Unpacking gdb-arm-linux-gnu (from .../gdb-arm-linux-gnu_6.8-3_amd64.deb) ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Looks like that man page needs removing.
I _think_ this fixes it. It may break the native build as I don't grok
what is actually installing the gdb-arm-linux-foo version of the
manpages now.
