Well, what's the point of maintaining and supporting a Devel port - apart
from being able to whether it builds - if folks can't eadily test it with
dependents?
Upstream releases routinely cause breaking changes, with ffmpeg 5.x being
one of the best and latest examples. But it would be much more of a pain-
in-the-keister to determine that, without path-style deps.
I'm speaking the obvious, but then, this entire discussion seems a bit
left-fieldish. Why the sudden concern with `gnutls`...?
