Package: gtk-vnc
Version: 0.5.2-3
Severity: normal

gtk-vnc uses gcrypt directly (not only as an indirect dependency
via gnutls) but does not build-depend on it.
Some of the code (thread handler) would probably superfluous
nowadays[1] for the other functions it might be better to switch from
gcrypt to gnutls' crypto API, to limit external depencies. (GnuTLS v3
uses nettle instead of gcrypt.)

NEWS in gnutls 2.12
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
a block of
#if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
gcry_control(...)
#endif
