gdb has not been merged upstream yet making inclusion in the Debian package
difficult. However, hppa-linux support is in pehc cvs(see the parisc-linux.org
web page for details).
I have also produced a Debian package by installing to pseudoroot, tar'ing it
up and using alien to convert it. It's not pretty but it works. This package
is available at,
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/debian/unofficial-debs/
gdb-hppa_5.0-4.pehc.2_hppa.deb

I think you'll need to build your own from pehc cvs then.

No, as I said above, no upstream version of gdb contains the hppa-linux
support currently.
