1) Why is curl-dev already installed when the test starts? Will that be 
always the case?

2) I still don't understand how the test works. You are asking for curl 
to be installed and curl-dev to be excluded, but curl-dev would not be 
installed regardless of --exclude option, because curl does not depend 
on it. You need to test a situation where --exclude makes a difference, 
and check that there is indeed a difference.
