Any chance we could merge ncurses/tinfo into ncurses?

(define-public ncurses/tinfo
(package/inherit ncurses
(name "ncurses-with-tinfo")
(arguments
(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments ncurses)
((#:configure-flags cf)
#~(cons "--with-termlib=tinfo" #$cf))))))
I think there are ~6 packages that depend on it, but it would trigger a
lot of rebuilds because of ncurses changing...
