Manual pages and other GNU GDB documentation moved to non compliant DFSG 
license. Hence moved into gdb-doc and adding a breaks, as manual page used to 
ship with gdb. While gdb-doc migrated to testing, gdb did not as it has RC bugs 
pending, mainly it is being blocked on kfreebsd build failure (#752295, 
#752390).
