Please see all the discussion around license incompatibilities of
gnutls28 vs 26, and openssl.

GnuTLS 28 is GPLv3 only, and if python-gnutls is rebuild against 28,
then all reverse-dependencies must be compatible with GPLv3.

I think this might be a won't-fix, and alternatively we may need/want
to provide python-gnutls28 package or similar.
