I am confused by your patch.  Didn't you say that Jessie would not
contain libgnutls26?  In that case, why change the Build-Depends from
libgnutls-dev to libgnutls28-dev?  Mandos will work with either, and
when libgnutls26 is removed, libgnutls-dev will be libgnutls28-dev, and
everything will be fine.

(The reason I am loathe to change this is that I would like to be
build-compatible with wheezy when possible.  This makes it easier for
those running wheezy, like, say, server operators not wanting to upgrade
to a new Debian release right away.  And server operators are the
principal users of Mandos.)

The change which the patch makes to the "Depends" line for the "mandos"
package baffles me even more; the "mandos" binary package does not
depend on any specific version of python-gnutls, it uses what's
available, and runs well with either.
