Package: gnutls-bin
Version: 3.8.1-2
Severity: important

When investigating an issue with curl's testsuite, I've noticed that
gnutls-serv stopped reporting the SRP feature:
$ gnutls-serv -l | grep SRP

No matches on unstable, whereas stable shows SRP enabled.

Looking through the build logs, I found out that this happened between 3.7.9-2
and 3.8.1-2 (on sid).

The build logs for 3.7.9-2 contains:
checking whether to disable SRP authentication support... no

And for 3.8.1-2:
checking whether to enable SRP authentication support... no

Notice how the check went from "disable" to "enable". Likely a change of
defaults from upstream where we dropped by feature due to not explicitly
setting it in d/rules.

There was no mention in d/changelog about it, so I assume this was accidental.

Cheers
