[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#747536: libimobiledevice: Uses gcrypt functions without explicit gcrypt build-dependency

Package: libimobiledevice
Version: 1.1.6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
User: ametzler at debian.org
Usertags: gnutls3

Hello,

This package uses gcrypt directly (not only as an indirect dependency
via gnutls) but does not build-depend on it.

In the long turn it would be better to switch from gcrypt to gnutls'
crypto API, to limit external depencies. (GnuTLS v3 uses nettle
instead of gcrypt.)
