Actually, just adding the build dependency is not the best solution in
such cases, since you'll get a spurious dependency on libncurses5
(dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libncurses.so.5 could be avoided
if "debian/spectemu-x11/usr/bin/xspect" were not uselessly linked
against it (they use none of its symbols)).
TRT is to patch the upstream build system and fix the
configure.in/configure.ac/Makefile files which erroneously believe that
-lncurses/-lcurses/-ltermcap is necessary for linking against readline.
Though with build systems that use -ltermcap rather than -lcurses (like
spectemu does), the next ncurses upload will bring some relieve
automatically by linking against tinfo rather than ncurses[1,2].
Cheers,
Sven
