libcurl4-openssl-dev:amd64 and libcurl4-openssl-dev:i386 both want to install /usr/bin/curl-config, but the file varies unnecessarily by architecture.

They only differ in a small and insignificant part of the string in the line that follows --configure in this script.

Those randomly generated directory names, /build/curl-5aqeqB vs. /build/curl-95csPZ, are causing each architecture’s curl-config to differ. They’re also not helping anyone at all being carried all the way through to the shipping /usr/bin/curl-config.
