Hi andreas,

First thanks for your support. Indeed this would work but I think the 
correct path is for libgnutls26-dev to provide libgnutls-dev and for 
libgnutls28-dev to conflict with libgnutls26-dev like many other library 
package do. I still do not get the name change. This way you can still 
install curl along with libgnutls26 but need to rebuild or downgrade if 
you intend to use libcurl*dev.  The other nice things would be to 
provide libcurl based on libgnutls28 in experimental.
