This means with a bit of planning, we should be able to get gnutls7 and openldap2 into testing just 10 days after it clears the NEW queue, without needing to rebuild other packages beforehand. FWIW, bug #198709 probably doesn't affect many packages. Most apps don't need to pass around any connection state besides a file descriptor; OpenLDAP is somewhat of a special case in this regard. But I'm sure it's a good idea to drop gnutls5 anyway, for ease of long-term maintenance. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
