Because curl in testing *does* depend on libc-ares1, which means that
migrating curl without the ares dependency is necessary to get the
transition done.

curl, though, is blocked in a way that will allow uploads once the
current version has migrated, independently of whether the transition is
done by then or not. Same story for ruby1.8.

Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for that
rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge.
