I believe a maintainer upload or NMU of #1066981 and #1066982 would
now be enough to unblock curl, which would hopefully unblock a lot of
the C/C++ ecosystem (in particular fixing the unsatisfiable dependency
libdebuginfod1t64 -> libcurl3t64-gnutls on armel/armhf, which would allow
gdb to be installed), while also making life easier for the people trying
to re-bootstrap cargo.

As a non-user of the affected architectures, I'm not comfortable with
being responsible for NMU'ing those changes (certainly not without giving
the curl maintainers a chance to comment!), but I've provided patches so
that either a curl maintainer or a porter could do so.

Thanks,
