I was thinking exactly the same. The debian files in SR repository are
intended to build DEB packages, nothing related to Debian official
repositories.

If Debian wants to provide official SR packages, them they could
choose to use the GnuTLs version instead (by creating their own
"control" file).

100% agree.
