Hi Rune,
I've brought this to the notice of the Ubuntu guys (via Launchpad etc). From what I can understand the way they've got it setup is as a "recommended" rather than "required" download.

Okay, thanks. As curl is commonly used with git, and ubuntu-users (yours truly included) are not used to packages not working out of the box, it would be nice with a more pedagogical error message if you try to use git with curl and curl is not installed.

I agree, at the moment I'm on ubuntu (considering a move to something else) and for the moment, I'm actually running from the bleeding edge (git pull every week or so).
