Everybody loves hacks ;)

I would say: let's go for gnutls28.
Packages seem mostly updated and in synch with jessie, and we expect some 
issues when using the old ones. I don't think anybody will complain about 
pulling-in some more stuff from bpo.

Just that this is not a proper solution. 
I am not aware of any issues rigth now, but if we later discover anything else 
related to DB versioning and dumping we would still have to come up with 
another solution. This is mostly a quickly workaround for this specific case.

Nonetheless, it looks like it's our better option at this moment, so let's go 
for it.

Ciao, Luca
