Openconnect deb packages for HEAD?

Hi,

Thank you all so much for the super-useful openconnect package! I've 
been using it first with cisco, then with pulse, and now I'm trying to 
connect to a GlobalProtect server that my work just switched to.

It gives a message that says "CAS is not supported by the client. 
Minimum client version is 6.0".  I found another github project 
(https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect) that gets past this 
issue, allows me to log in using a web browser, but then doesn't quite 
work (yet).

But after looking around a bit I realized that the "CAS not supported" 
problem, at least, has been fixed in openconnect HEAD.

1. I see that you can download packages built from HEAD, which is 
great.  However, the URL is broken.  The current URL is:

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Abluca%3Aopenconnect&;package=openconnect

But the correct URL is:

https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=openconnect&project=home%3Abluca%3Aopenconnect

2. I was able to install the openconnect package, and it does fix the 
"CAS is not supported by client" bug.  However, now network manager 
hangs saying "SAML REDIRECT authentication in progress". This might be 
because I was not able to install the new 
network-manager-openconnect-gnome package...  but I'm not sure.

3. The network-manager-openconnect-gnome package depends on 
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37.  But that package is not available in testing 
anymore.  The package that is available is "libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0".  Could 
you possibly update the build script?

4. Out of curiosity, is the upstream git repo actually the one on 
gitlab, or the one on infradead?
