It was intentional to change this Build-Depends. In the changelog:

---[debian/changelog]---------------------------------------------------
libwww-curl-perl (4.06-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ gregor herrmann ]
  * debian/control: Changed: Switched Vcs-Browser field to ViewSVN
    (source stanza).
  * debian/control: Added: ${misc:Depends} to Depends: field.
  * Build against libcurl4-gnutls-dev instead of libcurl4-openssl-dev, thanks
    to Adrian Bunk for the bug report (closes: #520595).
  * Set debhelper compatibility level to 7; adapt
    debian/{control,compat,rules}.
  * Set Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no changes).
  * debian/copyright: update formatting and information about several files.

  [ Ryan Niebur ]
  * New upstream release (Closes: #519841, #518942)
  * Add myself to Uploaders
  * update copyright for inc/*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was #520595, causing this: http://bugs.debian.org/520595 so the
problem was the non GPL-compatible OpenSSL license, and the linking
with OpenSSL.

HTH, and bests
