Sync gnutls26 2.10.4-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Artur Rona]

Please sync gnutls26 2.10.4-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
Package from Debian built fine, we can drop patch.

Changelog entries since current natty version 2.8.6-1ubuntu1:

gnutls26 (2.10.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use debhelper compatibility level 7.
  * Merge in changes from 2.8.6-1:
    + Use dh_lintian.
    + Use dh_makeshlibs for the guile stuff, too. This gets us
      a) ldconfig in postinst. Closes: #553109
      and
      b) a shlibs file.
      However the shared objects /usr/lib/libguile-gnutls*so* are still not
      designed to be used as libraries (linking) but are dlopened. guile-1.10
      will address this issue by keeping this stuff in a private directory.
    + hotfix pkg-config files (proper fix to be included upstream).
    + Stop unneeeded linkage against libgpg-error. 16_unnecessarydep.diff
      Closes: #405239
   * Upload to unstable.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

The sync seems to make sense, the Ubuntu delta can indeed be dropped.

I personally am just a bit unsure about bumping the version from 2.8 to 2.10. While we're still a few days away from FF, gnutls26 is 1) pretty integral and 2) the changes are massive:

daniel@miyazaki:~$ diff -ruN gnutls26-2.{8.6,10.4} | filterdiff -x '*/tests/*' -x '*/doc/*' | diffstat | tail -n1
 694 files changed, 88304 insertions(+), 59730 deletions(-)
daniel@miyazaki:~$

Is there anyone else who has done some testing or wants to make a decision here?

I don't think the risk is worth it; this is in unstable because Debian just re-opened for development. I think we should wait to sync this until Natty+1 unless there is a more pressing reason.
