It is good that you have provided sufficient information in this thread
to be able to follow in your footsteps as I am now able to reproduce
your problem.
My sources list has the security entry followed by kartolo lines for
wheezy and wheezy-backports. The mirror used for the second two lines is
of no consequence.
I installed emacs24:
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install emacs24
Then
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
produces exactly the same outcome you describe in your first post.
I never use backports so am not overly familiar with its operation or
how it fits with the rest of the archives. However, this does not look
like something that should happen. If we understood what is happening
we can produce a solution. (Other than purging emacs24 :)).
