Apologies for this,

libtasn1 is currently undergoing a transition, with libtasn1-2 to be
removed ASAP, it is currently blocked by gnutls11 remaining, and there
is only one reverse dep of this left. There is an RC bug (#383040) filed, but 
with no maintainer comment yet. 

Can I ask how this should have been handled, as the two packages provide
the same files, but a security bug prompted an API change, hence the new
package?

Is it satisfactory for this bug to wait and be resolved by the removal
of -2?
