Different SONAMEs/symbols for different TLS providers is done so that things
that shouldn't, don't get linked against the wrong libcurl flavour (this has
been the case way before I became the curl maintainer).
It can be disabled though, but 1) if all the libcurl versions provided the same
*.so.X.Y,Z files, it'd make it impossible to install different versions at the
same time (e.g. libcurl3 + libcurl3-gnutls) and 2) all libcurl reverse depends
would have to be rebuilt.
