[Bug 369582] [NEW] pleaase request promotion into main

[Anand Kumria]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libapache2-mod-gnutls

Hi,

Please request the promotion of this package into main -- and thus
formal security support by Canonical.

The rationale for this is that this module is the only thing that
currently allows for TLS SNI (Server Name Indication)[1] to work.

There is ongoing work in OpenSSL (upstream) and Apache (future version
2.4) to enable TLS SNI to work; but that is likely to be ready in a few
years.

TLS SNI allows for multiple virtual https web servers on a single IP.

Thanks,
Anand
