  Something that may have been lost earlier in this thread is that apt-file
*does* Recommend curl.  The apt-file maintainer believes that it is useful
enough to install apt-file without curl to justify weaking that to a
Recommendation.  Unless you are going to discuss that point specifically,
the proper place to send your complaints is bug #42266.
