The libgnutls library packages have had versioned symbols for some time.
This may appear awkward, but it's harmless and transient.

If it's not, we'd rather know that too...

Well, the checks I'm waiting to do are to see whether any of the packages
x11-common currently conflicts with need new gnome-ish libs before they can
be updated in testing.  This is not very likely, since most gnome-using
programs are well-behaved and install to /usr/bin instead of to
/usr/X11R6/bin; but then, there are far more ill-behaved programs installing
to /usr/X11R6 than there should have been anyway...
