Before curl can be built with metalink support someone needs to package
libmetalink for Ubuntu, preferable by way of Debian.

  curl not build with metalink support

Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “curl” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The manpage for curl talks about having support for the --metalink flag but trying to use it in Ubuntu 14.04 fails with the following warning:
