Which means that when uploading ncurses 3.4 the maintainer made a mistake
and used the wrong priority.  Unfortunately slink is already frozen and
this bug is not important enough to change it.

Otherwise, recompile the info package, write a proper changelog record
and let the release manager decide if it's worth including into slink
or not.
