Debian has not actually changed the upstream so-name. The libcurl3 package actually contains libcurl.so.4, and a symlink to that from libcurl.so.3. Please see the debian.release thread for more details: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.release/17257

Binaries built against other distros' libcurl.so.4 should be compatible with debian's libcurl3.

Really? apt-get dist-upgrade said it uninstalled libcurl4 and installed libcurl3, yet there's only a libcurl.so.4 in my /usr/lib dir. I'm very confused now.

Does the libcurl3 package provide /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4? So it's just the libcurl package name that was changed back to the former one? (Not less confusing but at least the "correct" soname)
