Hi Kristian,

This seems OK to me, although I don't know what this package is for?

Given this is inheriting from gdb, it'll have the same synopiss and
description:

  synopsis: The GNU debugger
  description: GDB is the GNU debugger.  With it, you can monitor what a program
  + is doing while it runs or what it was doing just before a crash.  It allows
  + you to specify the runtime conditions, to define breakpoints, and to change
  + how the program is running to try to fix bugs.  It can be used to debug
  + programs written in C, C++, Ada, Objective-C, Pascal and more.

So, I think if there is something different about this avr-gdb, it would
be good to specify a appropriate synopsis and description. Does that
make sense?

Thanks,

Chris
