The internet enabled tests are not a problem in Debian since they allow autopkgtests to access internet. For me they failed with download timeouts even after adding "needs-internet" tag. The failures may have been due to the infrastructure issues on our side. I probably need to check with QA team if disabling them was necessary.

Debian curl version is 8.3.0-2 and it provides following package configuration:
``
Libs.private: -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lrtmp -lssh2 -lssh2 -lpsl -lnettle -lgnutls -lgssapi_krb5 -llber -lldap -llber -lzstd -lbrotlidec -lz

``
It links with ssh2 (which is already a dependency), where as Ubuntu curl is 8.2.1-1ubuntu3 and links with ssh.

In order to build the nix package in Ubuntu, I had to explicitly add ssh dependency.
