Not necessarily. gnutls13 does build in the absence of libtasn-dev, it just builds *differently* depending on whether libtasn1-3 is available: it uses its bundled tasn instead. As long as there is no libtasn1-3 in the archive, this should be ok (not great, but ok) -- so a reasonable solution might be to drop the build-dependency on libtasn1-2-dev and instead build-conflict with any libtasn dev packages that it could accidentally build against. Then when there's a -dev package for libtasn1-3, it should be re-added as a build-dependency. Since gnutls11 and gnutls12 can *not* build against libtasn1-3, and we still need those other versions in the archive for a while yet, it seems that the new -dev package will need to be named libtasn1-3-dev to not overwrite the libtasn1-2-dev package. This would give us build-conflicts with libtasn1-3-dev now, and probably also a build-conflicts with libtasn1-2-dev to avoid the problem with the libtasn1-2-dev 0.3 that was in the archive briefly. Then this would change to build-depends libtasn1-3-dev when the time comes. Given that there are already 53 source packages in the archive using gnutls13 and no word on re-introducing libtasn1-3 in a way that avoids breaking libtasn1-2, I would strongly encourage uploading this fix rather than waiting for tasn1-3. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
