I don't see anything wrong with "curl family".  Individually they may be
http, https, etc. remote helper, but if you need a name to collectively
call them, you would want to say "curl family of helpers"; "curl helpers"
simply doesn't make sense.

If you want to just say "we ship multiple", we could also say "a family of
helpers" as well.  "curl"-ness is an implementation detail.
