It won't work on the buildds, however, whether pbuilder handles it or
not.

libcurl4-dev is a virtual package with multiple providers, and the
buildd software won't automatically pick between them, so the same
situation will recur.  You need to prefer one of the alternatives to
provide a concrete package to install (e.g. "libcurl4-gnutls-dev |
libcurl4-dev").
