Tell whoever said that congratulations on adopting ncurses4.2.
It's certainly news to me that libncurses4-dev is returning, I certainly
have no intention of trying to figure out how to get dpkg to DTRT with it.
That on top of one maintainer of a package in base making an idiotic remark
about not recompiling his package with ncurses5 sealed the fate of
libncurses4-dev as far as I'm concerned.
