Control: tags -1 patch

Thanks for raising this, and the patch.

Adding a new flavour of curl is a bit costly as each one of them adds
around 15m of build time (on good machines). Most of the build time is
spent running the unit tests, which are quite complete, so I often build it
with the nocheck profile, nonetheless the impact is still there as we have
to run the tests at some point.

I have to be able to justify the extra maintenance cost for this change, so
please send other usecases you're familiar with here.

I won't ask for much, but it seems that currently wolfssl usage within
Debian is low as per popcorn [0]. Of course popcon is not very reliable as
base for such things so as I mentioned please let me know of more data you
might have (also I understand there might be other software who will only
migrate to wolfssl once curls provides this).

Does this make sense to you?
