[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#870453: gnupg1-curl: consider dropping gnupg1-curl package entirely

Package: gnupg1-curl
Version: 1.4.21-4
Severity: normal

The gnupg1 package is deprecated.  It will only be used by people with
special needs for the "classic" suite.

As such, i'm not sure it makes sense to try to minimize dependencies
for people who want it installed.

I propose that we remove the gnupg1-curl package entirely, just build
gnupg1 against curl, and ship the curl-enabled versions in the gnupg1
package directly.

probably gnupg1 should Provides: gnupg1-curl as well.
