Title:
  Broken rust-gdbgui symlink

Status in rust-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  There is a typo in one of the symlinks in d/rust-gdb.links. It should be
  rust-gdbgui, but it's written as rust-gdbui instead.

  This makes the rust-gdbgui distributed by rust-defaults unusable. The
  versioned rust-gdbgui must be used instead.

  ====================
  Demonstration of bug
  ====================

  root at r:~# apt install -y rust-gdb
  [...]

  root at r:~# rust-gdbgui
  Command 'rust-gdbgui' not found, did you mean:
    command 'rust-gdbui' from deb rust-gdb (1.88.0ubuntu3)
  Try: apt install <deb name>

  root at r:~# test -e /usr/bin/rust-gdbui && echo 'ok' || echo 'bad link'
  bad link

  root at r:~# rust-1.88-gdbgui

  rust-gdbgui
  ===========
  gdbgui - https://gdbgui.com - is a graphical front-end to GDB
  that runs in a browser. This script invokes gdbgui with the Rust
  pretty printers loaded.
