build gdb-doc 7.7 for trusty to match the gdb version

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gdb-doc into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb-doc/7.7.1-1~ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

This SRU, if redone, either needs to not ship the manpage, or needs to be accompanied by an updated gdb without the manpage, and a Breaks/Replaces that actually matches that change.

gdb-doc in trusty and later releases is now built from the gdb source package
