I strongly think that the only thing added to the curse is the drop of truest love potion so that emma can be the saviour. Other than that the dark curse is as is. Rumple during the meeting with QOD "we are looking for a dark curse that will give everyone their happy ending". so that was already in there he didn't add or remove anything to make it anything less or more. The love potion is his way of breaking the curse so that he can find his son, which eventually backfired seeing as it created a spell in the town line during S1.
