It should, and it is actually useful it does, so that people can detect
corrupted files.

/usr/lib as well as /usr/lib/x86_64 are directory designed to contain
libraries, not random python scripts. gdb support loading this kind of
file from various places:
- /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16.debug-gdb.py
- /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16.gdb.py
- /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16.gdb.py

Please use one of them to put this script, there is no real reason to
pollute /usr/lib or /usr/lib/x86_64.
