Thanks for the confirmation and the license vigilance.  Debian does a 
great service for other distros and upstream apps (like pan) as well in 
that regard, and it's definitely appreciated. =:^)

Do you know:

1) Was the license revert to lgpl2.1 made retroactive, covering "gap" 
versions as well, even tho they initially shipped with the incompatible 
higher version license, or does that gap in compatibility remain, for 
affected versions?

2) Can you (or others reading that use pan-0.139 or live-git with gntls/
ssl/tls support turned off) confirm that as I had guessed, the security 
section at the bottom of the server config dialog disappears if gnutls 
support it turned off at compile time, thus making checking for that in 
the GUI an easy way for normal users to check whether they have that 
support builtin or not?
