Apparently not, since I could not find many complaints about Fedora's
ncurses-static package which have the same problem as we do.

People who are running other people's `configure' scripts may have some
trouble doing that (not everybody knows autoconf/automake). And
pkg-config support in ncurses is relatively new, it was added shortly
after the 5.7 release.
But probably we can live with that, it seems.
