Thanks, I know about the openssl/gpl issues but it has been a while I
didn't have to deal with that and forgot the details so the reminder is
useful.
I wonder if Fedora judged it was ok to do for libimobiledevice (and if
soon what basis?) or if they just did without thinking about the license
aspect.

You are probably right then that it makes sense to stay on the gnutls
backend for Debian
