We my Debian hat on: Pretty pretty please use a version number > 3.7.8
to allow a simple upgrade from guile-gnutls 3.7.8 to the new separate
version. (Instead of requiring fiddling and ugliness with empty
transition packages or epoch.)

Restarting version also imho does not make sense: Afaiui the next
guile-gnutls will not be something totaly new but essentially 3.7.8
with a changed README. The version number should reflect that. Or do you
envision a rename, too?
