Yes, definitely. libtasn1-3-dev should be gone asap.

I was not aware this would cause a (mini-)transition, otherwise I
might have waited.

If necessary I could upgrade libtasn1-3 to 2.14 and *temporarily*
switch back gnutls to the older version.

The transition is not a big one, libtasn1-3-dev has only three
reverse dependencies including gnutls26. However one of these (gcr)
currently FTBFS (Bug report submitted).

The library packages are co-installable, the development packages
can't be, due to libtasn1.so.
