Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hello,

please remove gnutls28 3.0.22-3 from unstable but keep the version in 
experimental.

We currently intend to drop gnutls28 from wheezy, since it is a leaf
package and creates non-neglible unnecessary work for
Debian-security.

gnutls26 will provide the binary packages gnutls-bin and guile-gnutls
again (they are currently built from gnutls28.) I would like to do
this transition via unstable and therefore ask you to remove gnutls28
3.0.22-3 (source and binary) from unstable. This is is necessary since
unstable has a newer version of gnutls28 than testing.

See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.release/64871
for details.

tia, cu andreas
