I need to revise the policy proposal I just made in light of this information. 3.3.6 should be own Real Soon Now, and when I release that I will remove xterm's dependency on ncurses-base. Since the new ncurses5 packages provide the functionality that xterm is looking for, you should be able to force the removal of ncurses-base and xterm will still work.
