Thanks for the interest in the package. The main reason I decided to remove the package is to reduce the maintenance burden. I think the main and only(?) niche for a gdb-minimal package is exactly your case: minimal embedded systems. Arguably, it's not a very common scenario in my experience. Let me think more about this, but offhand I can say that I'm not too keen on reintroducing the package (especially considering that saving 23,8MB doesn't seem like a major thing TBH).
