(-backports cc'd for visibility)

This also affects bookworm if using libcurl3-gnutls from
bookworm-backports. I would suggest avoiding backports of core libraries
like libcurl unless you have a specific reason to need them.

Minimal reproducer:

$ podman run --rm -it debian:bookworm-slim
# echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-backports.list
# apt update
# apt install --no-install-recommends flatpak ca-certificates
# apt install libcurl3-gnutls/bookworm-backports
# flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
# flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Recipes

If the upstream fix applies cleanly to bookworm's libostree 2022.7-2,
then I'm going to ask the stable release team for permission to include
it in the next bookworm point release.
