As pointed out by others; there are licensing incompatibilities.
However, it would be good to update gnutls26 to the latest version in
Debian. (2.12.20 is in Debian and is the most recent release on that
branch).

(As pointed out to me by Mike Miller, maintainer of openconnect in Debian)

"Not completely. Gnutls26 is still the default library in Debian, at
least for the current release, also because of the license change (see
[1]). The gnutls-bin package is indeed 28, but libgnutls-dev is still
26 and all packages build-depend on that."
