This only works with plain RSA cipher suites. That means that your server
MUST NOT use DHE_RSA, which is a signing ciphersuite.
Off the top of my head I can't think of a good reason to use DHE_RSA for an SSL server as it doesn't have to sign anything, right?

So disabling it wouldn't pose a problem.

Besides the fact that this should be valid for all kind of TLS servers, it
looks okay to me.
No this is not valid for all TLS servers. Only for the ones that use plain
RSA.
I see.

Only the key usage.
Is is really a good idea to be more strict here than e.g. openssl?
Because I do know of several servers which do have this problem when being used by clients which are linked agains gnutls.
