Interesting that fbb is so far the only package in which this problem
has shown up, while there are quite a few users of the AX_WITH_CURSES

Yes. And ncurses is _the_ curses implementation in Debian anyway, so I
would prefer to just pass --without-ncursesw to configure and leave the
rest alone. Patch attached for completeness.
