This transition plan is still subject to the base freeze already in progress. Packages whose dependencies are already frozen for debian-installer's benefit must not be rebuilt against gnutls11 or gcrypt11 at this time. (AFAIK, the only package in this category is exim4.) If and when the debootstrap maintainers agree to adding gnutls11 and gcrypt11 to the list of base packages for sarge, it would be possible to rebuild exim4 to use the new libraries, but this requires careful coordination to avoid breaking the installer at an inappropriate time (and all times between now and the sarge release are inappropriate). -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
