RMs and I managed the transition, libcurl4-dev packages provide
libcurl3-dev counterparts for this reason. I suppose they have issued
the required BinNMUs.

I am not so courtesy person when this has been already discussed on
-release, curl has been in experimental for quite some time and all
this is happening in unstable right after a stable release, where almost
every library with pending soname change is uploaded.
Tell me, why should I open so many bug reports myself when there are
lots of user able to do this themselves? ;)
Anyway I am going to open a curl mailing list on alioth so that
curl-dependant maintainers will be able to tune for such things.

Domenico
