Well, no. Git itself is broken:

APT will only remove on "dist-upgrade", not on "upgrade". Hence, you should
always run "upgrade" first and only run "dist-upgrade" after checking what
would get removed.
Don't just run blindly "apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade"!

src:curl is just one of the many packages that changed their API due to
the time_t transition. Debian Developers are aware of all the breakage.
FWIW, you actually will have to purge a lot of packages during dist-upgrade
as library packages get replaced by their "t64" variants.
