Source: libgnatcoll
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1

GPL licenses are incompatible with OpenSSL.  [α] summarizes the
problem, with a link to Debian position and possible solutions [β].

The libgnatcoll source package must stop building the postgresql
backend, because it links with OpenSSL, via PostGreSQL.

I doubt that AdaCore will be interested in granting a specific
exception to the GPL, and no dependency requires the PostGreSQL
backend as far as I known, so the best solution is probably to stop
building the libgnatcoll-postgresql[SO | ALI-dev | -dbg] binary
packages.
