Hi.  How would that work?  The gnutls-cli --starttls parameter requires
an interactive user that sends EOF or SIGALRM when TLS negotiation
should start, but gnutls-cli-debug is a non-interactive tool that
creates several TCP/TLS sessions.

I don't think gnutls-cli-debug would be useful there: instead the
gnutls-cli -d 4711 debug log is useful.
