I assume this will be a new source package name, rather than using 'gnutls13' as the source package for gnutls26? In that case, the transition to testing should be relatively painless. If gnutls26 is not RC-buggy, it should transition on its own to testing in ~10 days, including the new -dev package, so any packages rebuilt against it in that time will also have the normal waiting period. IOW, I don't see any reason to delay taking over the libgnutls-dev package. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
