More than likely on i386, libnewt0 was installed before the package was
built. However, since on sparc it was the first compile, it wasn't already
installed (since they are from the same package). Which means the
dpkg-shlibdeps didn't pick it up correctly. I haven't checked the
shlibs.local, so I'm not sure if it's dpkg-dev's problem, or the package's
setup.
