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"
