Does anyone have Debian contacts to inform them of this, or are they fully aware?
Debian is fully aware. Stanford and The Written Word have hired Symas to implement true GnuTLS support, so that this problem will go away.
Though the wisdom of actually using GNUtls has yet to be established. Personally I would seriously distrust an X.509 implementation written by people who so obviously don't understand X.500. While we'll fix what's obviously broken that we trip over, we weren't tasked with insuring its overall suitability for use.
