ipkg-utils fails to declare a couple of dependencies used by the
ipkg-upload script, the first attached patch fixes this.

Thanks

Seemant,

  I strongly believe the curl and gnupg deps need to be conditional on the
minimal flag, because on many installs where ipkg-utils are useful they are
neither common nor small.  For example, on our n770 images both are within
10% of the size of the GUI web browser package and you wouldn't want to
build packages for uploading on there either :).

  Still learning though, if you think it is inappropriate please kick the
patches back.

Thanks as always


James

  This second patch reverts my eagerness to use a patch over sed, while
rethinking this it makes a lot more sense to just use a single sed call and
drop the patch.  It is also removing the redundant make install too, I must
have been suffering from some kind of sed reduction induced red mist to have
missed it the first time round.

This should also set RDEPEND explicitely...
