If I understand it correctly, we are talking here
about Debian control files
that are being kept in the git repository, right? But aren't those files
intended for people who want to build Debian packages themselves, rather than
for official Debian developers? As far as I know official Debian developers
maintain their control files elsewhere, and in fact it is recommended that
upstream projects do not provide their own control files.
I was thinking exactly the same. The debian files in SR repository are
intended to build DEB packages, nothing related to Debian official
repositories.
If Debian wants to provide official SR packages, them they could
choose to use the GnuTLs version instead (by creating their own
"control" file).
If this is the case, does it really matter if we keep
libcurl4-openssl-dev in
our control files? We know that all the stuff should work (at least was
developed with) with openssl, so shouldn't this be the default for the people
who attempt to build the packages themselves?
100% agree.
