Comment (by vivainio):

 The problem is that if we disable pydb for %run -d, we will also
 necessarily disable it for post-mortem debugging. Should we really do
 that?

 If the user has installed pydb, he probably wants to use that. Probably
 the correct route would be to solve the problems in pydb.

 I'll implement a hackish workaround - a command line switch 'pydb' that is
 required to choose pydb as the default debugger for run -h and postmortem.
 %pydb will continue working without that switch.
