Yep.

Ask the GnuTLS maintainer. :)
I am for dropping the BR, and perhaps it might also make sense to split
out the gnutls guile binding from the upstream distribution.
That said, the current gnutls build would bring in guile22 BR anyway,
indirectly through the autogen/libopts BR (if we bootstrap). We want to
replace the tool with something minimal, but haven't had time to move it
forward.
For the meantime, thanks Tomáš Korbař for stepping up and taking those
packages; much appreciated.
