oh, ok! this is just what i'm trying to ask since my first message of last
night. i think my english should be improved. :)

i think i'll make the curl package depending on (libcurl | libcurl-ssl).
if you want curl with ssl enabled, install libcurl-ssl otherwise install
libcurl. afaik it should work nicely.

comments?
