In the patch there I see:
+binary-makedeb/gnutls-bin:: DEB_DH_GENCONTROL_ARGS := -- -v3.0.20-3+really$(DEB_VERSION)
That would make version number in unstable go backwards. We really don't
want this.
Is there any reason not to use "3.0.22-3+really$(something-else)"? That
would be higher than the version in unstable.
