Personally, I think it should be installed by default.  gdbserver
would be ideal for debugging X servers and embedded Linux systems.

OK, the disk space is trivial, but every installed program has an
overhead in documentation, packaging, users asking "what does this
do", etc.  There are a hundred more important things to be spending
time on just in GDB alone - while I'm typing this, I'm not working
on any of them (of course, I probably wouldn't be working on them
anyway :-), but I am robbing from GCC hack time).
