That just seems an odd place to make a stand on size. If you care about a consistent developer, user, and debugging experience regardless of mechanism of delivery, you wouldn't do this in the first place, or you'd change the global curl package. Either the features are important, or they aren't. If you care about minimizing size overall (neglecting the fact that cutting out kerberos and to a lesser extent ldap dependencies don't really save you anything due to their system library use), then might as well just start -Os-ing random packages and throwing in busybox.
