Either you or the library maintainer must have done something wrong.
It works correctly:

femto[~]$ ldd a5.out a6.out
a5.out:
        libreadline.so.2 => /lib/libc5-compat/libreadline.so.2 (0x4000a000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4002c000)
        libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 (0x400e8000)
a6.out:
        libreadline.so.2 => /lib/libreadline.so.2 (0x4000e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40030000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x400ce000)
femto[~]$ dpkg-shlibdeps -O a5.out
shlibs:Depends=libc5 (>= 5.4.0-0), libreadline2 (>= 2.1), ncurses3.0
femto[~]$ dpkg-shlibdeps -O a6.out
shlibs:Depends=libc6, libreadlineg2 (>= 2.1-4), ncurses3.4
