I actually like the idea of pdbtrack quite a bit and like Stefan said,
there is no plan to remove it. Fabian's implementation works really nice
and also handles all corner cases well, for example the end of the
script being debugged. The current pdbtrack implementation would end up
in emacs2.py when stepping past the end of the script.
