If we did go the route of wanting the pygdb code, I'd prefer we just included it in tests/functional/qemu_test, rather than adding a dep on aautils which doesn't seem broadly relevant. Or pygdb should just be spun out as a standalone python project, as it doesn't need much of a dep on anything else.
