Hi

While preparing update of mpdscribble, I was notified that resulting
binary is built against more libgnutls libraries. This is caused by two
facts in libsoup2.2-dev package:

1. -lgnutls is listed in pkgconfig file, is it really needed there?

2. libsoup2.2-dev depends on libgnutls-dev, however it libgnutls-dev is
also provided by libgnutls11-dev

For fixing this I suggest to make dependendy on libgnutls-dev stricter
(libgnutls-dev > 1.3.0 or something like that).
