          Python-GnuTLS.

* debian/control (Source: mandos/Build-Depends): Add (>= 3.3.0) to
                                                 "libgnutls28-dev" and
                                                 "gnutls-dev".
  (Source: mandos/Build-Depends-Indep): Remove "python2.7-gnutls".
  (Package: mandos/Depends): Remove "python-gnutls" and
                             "python2.7-gnutls", add "libgnutls28-dev
                             (>= 3.3.0) | libgnutls30 (>= 3.3.0)"
* mandos: Remove imports of "gnutls" and all submodules.
  (GnuTLS, gnutls): New; simulate a "gnutls" module.  Change all
