Did you consider e.g. > libcurl-minimal.so.x.y.z instead? Shipping entirely non-standard, non-upstream SONAMEs (as appears to be what is suggested) doesn't seem like a particularly good solution to me. If it's just used by %__urlhelpercmd, why not make that a Suggests/Enhances? It's not as if the normal DNF usage case requires RPM to be able to install from a URL.
