This is a kind reminder that the build-essential freeze is in about
two weeks, and that gnutls28 is a dependency of apt and the questionable
symbol versioning changes together with this release critical bug
prevent it from migrating to testing.

Please get the bug fixed, revert the upload, revert the commit that
introduces the bug, downgrade the bug severity, or revert that madness
of forcing all your reverse depends to depend on gnutls28 just because
there are a few new enum members they _might_ have used - it's doing
more harm then good, and it's not standard practice.
