  1. oauth: Correct missing comma in Requires.private

Is adding libcurl there even the right move? This will make all
programs using pkgconf and linking against libpq require
Build-Depending on libcurl-dev (or more specifically,
libcurl4-openssl-dev). Alternatively, we could make libpq-dev
Depends: libcurl on libcurl-dev. Both solutions seem wrong.

Since nothing in libpq should need curl for compiling, should we drop
it there instead?

Spotted by https://ci.debian.net/packages/h/hoel/unstable/amd64/60438300/
which used PG18. (Which might have more problems as well...)
