Hello all!

Blame is all on me for this and here's an attempt to redeem myself a bit
(spoiler: will fail).

I've attached a patch that make the totem-pl-parser package
build against the old version of libquvi we have in testing/unstable
(but otherwise basically untested).

Beware, This will make totem blow up when used!

Problem being that both gnutls26 (via glib/gio) and gnutls28 (via libquvi7)
gets pulled in and apparently the symbol versioning is broken.
The Debian gnutls maintainer has been alerted.

Please also note that libquvi in testing/unstable is RC-buggy (FTBFS),
see: #747798

Andreas Henriksson
