If ruby-ncursesw supports everything that ruby-ncurses supports, than I
think we should go fo it. Since ruby-ncurses has few reverse
dependencies, it should be ok. Could you please also test tpp (the other
rdep besides sup-mail) with ruby-ncursesw?

The only comment I have regarding the packaging is that you don't need multiple
entries in debian/changelog package was not uploaded yet. You can condense
everything as a single entry for version 1.3.1-1, and you don't need to list
the changes between these non-uploaded versions, since users of the package
don't care about that.
