Eventually, yes.
(identical in ia32 or amd64)
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 -> libtermcap.so
/usr/lib/libtermcap.so -> libncurses.so
/usr/lib/libncurses.so -> /lib/libncurses.so.5
/lib/libncurses.so.5 -> libncurses.so.5.5

This isn't fully comprehensive, but it looks like only a handful of core
libraries are affected in this way. This is from a desktop system,
running GNOME with a few extra GTK and QT apps.
