[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Notes about Ubuntu specific software versions not available. (!1029)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Airtower started a new discussion on README.md: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/1029#note_183415692

>  apt-get install -y texinfo texlive texlive-generic-recommended texlive-extra-utils
>  ```
>  
> +__NOTE:__ Some software versions might not be available in older releases, e.g. `nettle-dev`. 
> +Certificates like APT-Pinning might be necessary to install these versions (and dependencies) from a newer release

Why does it say "Certificates" here? I'm also not sure if recommending mixing releases is a good idea, any incompatiblities can lead to issues that are tricky to debug. Installing e.g. Nettle from source seems like the safer option to me.
