Ok. Couple of questions: - What is the current license of libgnutls-openssl? I've heard some comments that it's now LGPL instead of GPL, but I haven't confirmed this myself. Anything we link with must be LGPL-only, because of the wide range of packages that will use libldap in turn; this was a major factor in the amount of reimplementation I did to keep libldap linked to libgnutls only. - Why would the x509 interfaces be "compatibility-only"? X509 is surely not specific to OpenSSL. Or is this simply a matter of the *particular* interfaces that OpenLDAP is using to get at the X509 data? - In light of this incompatibility, do you still plan to Provide: libgnutls11-dev?
