I'd so as far as suggest this:

  debugger/interfaces
  debugger/ui
  debugger/backend/gdb_mi
  debugger/backend/python

Where there will be some possible debugger interfaces (ValueAccess, 
Breakpoints, MemoryReading) and specific backends will implement whatever 
interfaces they can. The debugger UI will then query supported interfaces and 
enable/disable the specific windows. Say, python debugger backend will report 
that it can't display raw memory, and the memory viewer will disappear.

How does that sound?
