The reason for the -dev dependency appears to be that the Python code does
something like
from ctypes.util import find_library
find_library('gnutls')
but that works just fine even without the -dev package installed (so either
libgnutls28 or libgnutls30 ought to do).
Actually, I wonder if using ${shlibs:Depends} would be fine, even for the
Python code. At least it would make transitioning this package much easier. :-)
Or move back to using python-gnutls; NEWS indicates that ctypes was used
because python-gnutls didn't support GnuTLS 3.3 at the time, but
python-gnutls indicates it has supported GnuTLS 3.4 since 2016.
