Thanks for the followup. Yes, fixing it as a Debian patch is probably 
the best path for now, and maybe trying upstream again at a later date. 
To a certain extent it's easier here because we have a more homogeneous 
platform than upstream does.

I never did get around to re-asking GnuTLS upstream about adding a 
workaround on their end, but I suspect there's no point; after all 
libldap is doing the very things their documentation explicitly says a 
library should never do.
