This is not true. mc (at least version 3.2.1-1) is dynamically linked with
libgpm, so even if you don't want to use the mouse on Linux console, you
still have to have libgpm1 installed in order to run it.
$ ldd /usr/bin/mc
libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0
libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1.10
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.13
