Tags: 2.6.6-1
* use @LTLIBTASN1@ instead of @LIBTASN1@ in Libs.private of *.pc.in. This
  way lib-link.m4 gives us -ltasn1 instead of /usr/lib/libtasn1.so.
* New upstream security release.
  + libgnutls: Corrected double free on signature verification failure.
    GNUTLS-SA-2009-1 CVE-2009-1415
  + libgnutls: Fix DSA key generation. Noticed when investigating the
    previous GNUTLS-SA-2009-1 problem. All DSA keys generated using GnuTLS
    2.6.x are corrupt.  See the advisory for more details.
    GNUTLS-SA-2009-2 CVE-2009-1416
  + libgnutls: Check expiration/activation time on untrusted certificates.
    Before the library did not check activation/expiration times on
    certificates, and was documented as not doing so.
    GNUTLS-SA-2009-3 CVE-2009-1417
 * The former two issues only apply to gnutls 2.6.x. The latter is a
   brehavior change, add a NEWS.Debian file to document it.
