[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#502558: FTBFS: fails to build when either libcurl4-*-dev is installed

[Stephen Depooter]

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.9-3
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

When either libcurl4-gnutls-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev is installed, the gnupg package detects a system libcurl and uses it instead of the included curl-shim.  This causes a build failure with the following error excerpt.

[snip]
gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign   -o gpgkeys_finger gpgkeys_finger-gpgkeys_finger.o gpgkeys_finger-ksutil.o ../util/libutil.a
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../../keyserver -I../../include -I../../intl    -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -MT gpgkeys_curl-gpgkeys_curl.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/gpgkeys_curl-gpgkeys_curl.Tpo -c -o gpgkeys_curl-gpgkeys_curl.o `test -f 'gpgkeys_curl.c' || echo '../../keyserver/'`gpgkeys_curl.c
../../keyserver/gpgkeys_curl.c: In function 'main':
../../keyserver/gpgkeys_curl.c:304: error: 'typeof' applied to a bit-field
../../keyserver/gpgkeys_curl.c:304: error: 'typeof' applied to a bit-field

[snip]

The package should either build conflict woth both libcurl versions, or be specifically configured in debian rules to use the internal curl shim.
