Indeed, this is preventing me to switch curl to libgnutls28. AFAICT, the only
reason librtmp-dev depends on libgnutls-dev is because librtmp.pc has a
"Requires: gnutls", but it doesn't seem to actually need it (i.e. none of the
librtmp-dev headers #includes gnutls.h, and librtmp.pc doesn't have -lgnutls
anywhere), but I may be wrong.

FWIW, librtmp could just switch to libgnutls28.

Cheers
