[and subsequently to unstable]

Is there a plan for transitioning to the new library for other reverse
dependencies? Right now packages such as empathy are unbuildable:

 empathy (= 3.4.2.3-3) build-depends on one of:
  - libgnutls-dev (= 2.12.23-3)
  empathy (= 3.4.2.3-3) build-depends on one of:
  - libgcr-3-dev (= 3.4.1-3)
  libgnutls-dev (= 2.12.23-3) depends on one of:
  - libtasn1-6-dev (= 3.3-1)
  libgcr-3-dev (= 3.4.1-3) depends on one of:
  - libtasn1-3-dev (= 2.13-2)
  libtasn1-6-dev (= 3.3-1) and libtasn1-3-dev (= 2.13-2) conflict

If the libraries aren't intended to be co-installable, why are they in
separate source packages?

Regards,

Adam
