Not every base package of course, just the base packages that use
ncurses and are also on the boot disks. Actually, ae and util-linux
(cfdisk) might be only ones in this elite club.

I was suggesting either a new package _or_ requiring the boot-disk
package to have the util-linux source available, probably not a very
good idea.

There is of course, the simplest third alternative of linking the
default cfdisk with slang, but that requires slang in /lib and on the
base-disks.
Are you willing to have two versions of ae? - normal ae and ae-slang
which installs into /usr/lib/boot-disks? If not, then I won't bother
making a cfdisk-slang package
