I'm saying that libncurses-dev/hurd should have a line that
says
Depends: libc0.3-dev (=foo)
while
libncurses-dev/i386 should have
Depends: libc6-dev (=foo)
I'm moving this discussion over to -devel,
because this topic is not restricted to ncurses only.
I'm envisioning a "${Depends:devlibs}" kind of notation,
and something like "dpkg-devlibdeps"
