Ah, you are right. I was thinking of .source, which might have been easier here
with & ! .source ~ /^ncurses$/. I don't use .source or .package much as I don't
mind partial results (usually fixed by a decruft, though not in this case), so I
had forgotten that we had both .source and .package, and assumed that .package
matched sources (which obviously makes little sense). So thanks for instructing
me about that!
Cheers,
Emilio
PS: I will continue with the binNMUs soon, once the libicu ones are done.
