Also, perhaps it is good idea to check with aptitude why-not like this:
aptitude why-not libcurl4-openssl-dev
i task-kde-desktop Recommends system-config-printer
i A system-config-printer Depends python-cupshelpers (= 1.3.7-4)
i A python-cupshelpers Depends python-pycurl
i A python-pycurl Suggests libcurl4-gnutls-dev
p libcurl4-gnutls-dev Conflicts libcurl4-openssl-dev
That is what I get on Wheezy KDE.
