I think it is there only because it is needed during the installation
(and it belongs to ncurses-base). /usr/lib/terminfo/a/ansi is a symlink
ti /etc/terminfo/ , but _only_ ansi (in a/ dir).
ncurses by default looks for terminfo compiled files in
/usr/lib/terminfo, and you have it there.

What kind of test did you do to say that?
I just tryed tput -T amiga <some cap> and got the correct sequencies.
I re-read your first message and noticed that you refere to
"Amiga terminal emulation"
ncurses and terminfo are not for terminal emulation, on the contrary
they allow a terminal (for example an amiga running a terminal emulator)
to log in the host and run curses applications.
