  [Impact]
  Currently it is not possible to install this package alongside gdb. See also comments #8 and #9.

  [Test case]
  Attempt to install `gdb-arm-none-eabi` where `gdb` is already installed.

  [Regression potential]
  The patch used is one available in a newer version of the package.
  There is some confusion regarding the version number and how much changes has actually gone into this rebuild, see comment #9.
