I certainly agree that further investigation can wait until after Raring
is released.
My longer-term concern with masking this at the pycurl level is that if
some library is leaving the floating-point registers in a confused
state, then it seems possible that other applications could be affected
-- perhaps in a way that's a lot more subtle than apt-add-
explicit "cannot convert float NaN to integer" message...
