I followed the debian bug at the time and I checked our version of git.
We have openssl integrated in several places in git (specifically in
cyrus-sasl) where gnutls wasn't a drop-in replacement. I think it would
be nice to be able to use gnutls instead of openssl in more places but
I'm willing to follow Debian's lead here.
