Bug#520595: libwww-curl-perl: Please switch to libcurl3-gnutls

[Adrian Bunk]

Package: libwww-curl-perl
Version: 4.05-1
Severity: normal

- /usr/lib/perl5/auto/WWW/Curl/Curl.so is linked with libcurl3
- libcurl3 is linked with OpenSSL
- OpenSSL has a not GPL-compatible licence

Using libwww-curl-perl in a Perl script together with e.g.
libapt-pkg-perl might result in situations where the GPL
gets violated.

Unless there's a strong reason against it, it would therefore
be good if libwww-curl-perl could switch to libcurl3-gnutls.
