You should use libncursesw5 instead of libncruses5.
libncurses5 doesn't support wide character set.
I try to build aptitude by using -I/usr/include/ncursesw and -lncursesw,
it seems to be ok for me.

no, you don't need to do it. gettext() checks charset parameter in
Content-Type header and try to convert translated messages into
locale's encoding.
aptitude*/po/ja.po has "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=euc-jp\" correctly,
it's ok. (but it seems to be very obsoleted translation...)
