Hi,
[ About the benefit of requiring a sourceful upload of reverse b-d,
instead of providing the libgnutls-dev by the accurate package. ]

I don’t deny there is a misunderstanding, but I’m not sure how small it
is. I don’t get either the benefit of having “28” somewhere in the name
to make it clear that the package is about GnuTLS 3 (or any later version).
Anyway, documenting those concerns in the transition bug report since
they don’t seem to have been raised before.

David
