Would it make sense to have guile2-gnutls or something like that? This 
way we don't need to replace the 1.8 guile-gnutls and only the 
architectures that support guile 2 would have the guile2-* packages. 
This would probably be the less disturbing and generic approach, but I 
guess it also means more work for you guys.

In any case, it is probably time to move forward from guile 1.8 :-).
