That should be doable, however upstream might want to discuss this.

That bit leaves me a bit in confusion - for a build-time job I'll need
cligen via a build dependency - but AFAICS that program is not packaged
in Debian¹. Including a code copy, nope. So perhaps gnutls should ship it
as it's already in the sources there? I happen to know at least some
gnutls Debian maintainers are reading this :)
