Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm has the ability to boot off of a remote, http iso.
This is really, really useful, particularly when testing daily iso's, or from a system like my laptop with a small SSD hard drive.
All we need to do to enable this is to build-depend on libcurl4-

=======
SRU Justification
This is truly a wishlist item, but absolutely trivial to fix, and very high impact. This should significantly improve our developers', testers', and users' abilities to test ISOs during the Lucid cycle. We simple need to build-depend on a curl library. This will enable kvm to actually boot using -cdrom http://
TEST CASE:
* kvm -m 512 -cdrom http://
Should boot to the graphical desktop. (Actually, you can stop if you see the bootloader screen.)
