Recently the readline-dev package and its GPL2 variant libreadline-gplv2-dev dropped their dependencies on libncurses5-dev. This prompted me to look for packages that currently depend on libncurses5 but do not build-depend on libncurses5-dev or its aliases libncurses-dev and ncurses-dev, nor have libncurses5-dev pulled in via other means. In the end I found 58 such packages on i386 in unstable/experimental, all but two of which build-depend on one of the libreadline*-dev packages. Since those are potentially RC-buggy, they probably deserve a look. The two exceptions are afflib (bug #645915) and nvidia-cuda-toolkit (non-free, binary-only(?)).
