Is this a regression in GnuTLS? Or just an aggravating problem from the
rising adoption of SHA-512?
I would tend towards fixing this only if it's the former, not the
latter. This is, after all, why we want people to upgrade...
It could be pretty difficult to backport SHA-512 support in Wheezy's
GnuTLS...
