Ross Burton created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1582



With the recent change to use dlwrap() for loading compression libraries, the gnutls library packages will no longer depend on the compression libraries.

systemd has recently done the same thing with its core library and they attempted to solve the dependency issue by embedding ELF notes into the library which lists what libraries may be opened, so they can be recommended on at the package manager level.

Could you consider doing the same for gnutls? (although I imagine this would actually be done in dlwrap itself)
