It is very painful to change the version of libgcrypt7 in base at this
point. Doing this will break debian-installer testing, which is the
reason we asked for no further changes to the package lists in the base
system. debian-installer beta3 had to be re-released due to the last
libgnutls/libgcrypt change.
If you are still considering this, you must coordinate very closely with
the debootstrap maintainers and debian-boot.
