That is great news.

I assume that is gnutls 0.8.9 which was released yesterday
------------------
Version 0.8.9 (29/06/2003)
- Corrected a null pointer dereference in gnutls_certificate_get_ours().
Report and Patch by Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net>.
- The gnutls_transport_ptr type was changed to a pointer type (void*).
(programs would need recompile, since the library version has changed)
------------------
Afaict this will require a big recompilation effort or introduction of a
libgnutls5 package in oldlibs, before anything can transfer to testing
as the soname had to be changed from libgnutls.so.5 to libgnutls.so.7
(why not 6?)
