Public bug reported:

To enable debugging of applications with C++ code the target device must
have gdbserver package installed.

Right now for that the app developers need to turn the device writable
and manually install the gdbserver package.

It would be much more convinient and secure to keep the device readonly
and have the gdbserver pre-installed on the device.

The disk space should not be a concern  as all installed files from the
package use up 215KB (binary - 190KB + doc - 20KB   + manpage - 5KB)

** Affects: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu)
