Hello,

GnuTLS 2 and 3 are not completely API compatible. And given that this
transition is basically finished (except for openldap and about 10
packages which build-depend on libgnutls-dev without generating
binaries that depend on libgnutls26), I would like to keep the small
benefit of having this incompatibility reflected in the package name.
