Package: ssmtp
Version: 2.64-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,
please change the package's build-dependency from libgnutls-dev to
libgnutls-openssl-dev. The latter is a virtual package provided by
libgnutls-dev in sid and libgnutls28-dev in experimental. Having the
reverse dependencies change should allow us to transition to the newer
version. (See #726828.)

I have test-built the package against both libgnutls-dev/sid and
libgnutls28-dev/experimental to verify that continues to build against
GnuTLS 3.x.

Thanks, cu Andreas
