New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/33781#issuecomment-954326348 Comment: Purpose of `chroot-curl` afaiu is to perform maintenance tasks *after* `xbps-src` has done its thing. A smaller package is easier to build / maintain (could depend only on OpenSSL), and it would always be available, but without a library and with a different executable name to avoid any silliness in configure scripts from picking it up.
