Description:

Package binutils 2.34-3 should not include process tracing facility that can only be used when a debugger such as GDB was installed. The following files were added since binutils 2.34-3 without changelog documenting if the inclusion was intended.
/usr/bin/gdbserver
/usr/lib/libinproctrace.so

Those files should be made part of GDB package or into another separate package for GDB as opt-dependency.
