Package: python3.13-dbg
Version: 3.13.5-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/doc/python3.13/README.debug

The file README.debug starts by explaining:

> For debugging python and extension modules, you may want to add the contents
> of /usr/share/doc/python3.13/gdbinit (found in the python3.13-dev package) to your
> ~/.gdbinit file.

But there is no such file. And it seems that gdb picks up the Python
debugging extensions without extra configuration.
