As the gnutls library is really security related and we currently need the
library in Debian only as build dependency for Zarafa Groupware I raised
the needed changes on our discussion mailing list [1] there also guys
from the Zarafa team subscribed.
I'm a bit conservative in doing changes that may have a impact that can't
overview right now.
But thanks for your diff, we will und have to discuss the best
solution, I'm intended to involve the gnutls maintainers for getting a
good working solution.

We haven't think about a NMU tag for libvmime. :)
