This is still pissing me off so another note on this...

There are potentially MILLIONS of users out there using this program and
submitting their gmail password in cleartext.  Jean-Yves Lefort,
somebody wrote the gnutls code FOR you!  I don't think you care about
the security of the patch (aka your "reputation")- if you cared about
security you would try to make sure that the majority of users out there
are using your program in a secure manner.  The fact is you don't care
about security, you care about winning an argument with the
Ubuntu/Debian maintainers.  Which chances are you are not going to win.

And to those maintainers... this package is insecure enough that it
shouldn't even be packaged and supported if you're not going to allow
for OpenSSL compilation.  Just remove it or allow for SSL.  Seriously.
