Yeah, I have read this: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/curl/merge_requests/2. Still, the question remains: Why can different libssl packages coexist fine (even if they are from a previous Debian version) but libcurl packages cannot? There are external software packages shipped as .deb which require libcurl3. (I've seen that the LightWorks video editor and several games are affected.) To support those, there should be a way to provide libcurl3.
