Well, AFAIK the stance is more of the form "we can't afford any legal
trouble, so we'd better take the safe route". It's not really
fundamentalist, more like pragmatic from an organization without legal
resources.

One option that was discussed in the debian bug was to simply recompile
it with the GNU TLS openssl compatibility library:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/gnutls.html#Compatibility-with-the-OpenSSL-library

Is this a solution?
