Old tests on libosinfo were relying on libsoup and that's the reason I
do believe the dependency was there.
Pino dropped the dependency a long time ago here:

Switch from libsoup to libcurl
libsoup is used to check the validity of URLs in distributions in
osinfo-db; OTOH it supports only HTTP(S), so this limits the checks to
that protocol.
To overcome this limitation, switch to libcurl: while it requires
slightly more code to do the same task, it provides a bit more
flexibility, and support for other protocols. No version check is
performed, since the APIs used are old enough.
Adapt also the README, and the packaging files.
```
However, libvirt-jenkins-ci was never updated.
