Hey Miroslav,

I just would like to clarify that the change will actually not require
any modification from mock's perspective.  The final split of the GDB
package will work like this:

- gdb-minimal will provide /usr/bin/gdb.minimal.

- gdb will probide /usr/bin/gdb, and /usr/bin/gdb-add-index (which is
  the script the buildroot ultimate uses).

- /usr/bin/gdb-add-index will check if there's a /usr/bin/gdb.minimal
  binary available, and use it.  Otherwise, it will fallback to
  /usr/bin/gdb.

Therefore, no Conflicts was needed, which means that even if a package
being built depends on gdb, no problems should arise.

Thanks,
