Hello Paul,

well, apart from the two CVE fixes there are many bugfixes in this
release that we probably want, e.g.
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/690
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/689
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/713
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/698
etc.

Most of these are related to TLS 1.3. - They might not show up as bug
reports now because it TLS1.3 is not that common yet but will propably
cause issues later in buster's lifetime. And the more fixes there the
more error-prone complicated cherry-picking s going to be.

The revert has been in sid for a week now.
