Well only for 2 packages as so far only 2 packages are using ibgnutls-openssl

Agreed another solution would be better one where the gnutls openssl compat
headers uses #defines to change the function names to for example gnutls_
prefixed symbols.
I have reported the problem to the upstream devel mailing list and they
would accept the patch into upstream if someone writes it but they are
also considering dropping libgnutls-openssl altogether.
Unfortunately I won't have time to write the patch till middle of
September.
So for now I'd suggest to build the affected packages without
gnutls-openssl dependency.
