As I said in my reply: the issue with Joerg fix is that in the dynamic
linking case, it creates useless additional NEEDED entries in the
binaries, which are not needed since those binaries are already linked
with libcups.so, which itself is linked with libgnutls.so.

Now whether it strongly matters can be discussed, but it is for sure
not very elegant.
