My reasoning here is that gdb-heap uses the "gdb" module, which only exists in
the python environment embedded inside /usr/bin/gdb, not in /usr/bin/python.

So it's not going to work if you try to use it from the regular /usr/bin/python
environment.

Having said that, we could simply "claim" the "gdbheap" part of the namespace
below python's site-packages (doing so might break pydoc and other tools that
assume that all such modules are importable by /usr/bin/python, though).

Does this make sense?
