The general opinion seems to be that this is acceptable, and that people
wishing statically linking with ncurses need to specify -ltinfo
themselves, e.g. by using "pkg-config --static --libs ncurses" (only
possible in wheezy and later, though).

The only other affected package I know of is bash which does not FTBFS
right now, but will with libncurses5-dev 5.9-3 due to the changes for
#644426. I will followup on the cloned bugs individually once I have
their numbers.
Cheers,
Sven
