Yeah, lynx is currently just a transitional package. (But this is
bound to change.)

Thanks for that information. So this issue is likely not an issue in
Lynx per se. Because the version in Jessie works fine on Jessie as I
can confirm. Looks to me if it's a combination of the version of
lynx(-cur) and the GnuTLS library.

I guess Andreas can tell more than me on this. In the end -- you and
Andreas maintain the two most important SSL implementations in Debian,
not me. ;-)
