If PyDev uses GDB, then it’ll be stuck with an older version of GDB?
Maybe that’s OK?  (I know nothing about PyDev and how it uses GDB so I
can’t really judge whether it’s OK.)

I don't really know either, but at least this will allow updating gdb
without rebuilding a bunch of Python things.

I don’t see anything that would prevent pydevd running on a pinned/older
GDB version. We might want to verify when we update python-pydevd, but
right now it just attaches to the process and injects a shared object
– that’s all. So, LGTM.

OK, thanks for checking.  Go for it, Chris!
