How to discover the name of <package that has ncurses in it> is the
question for which I currently have no good answer. Scrolling through
6900 packages in dselect takes too much time and is too error prone (at
least, when *I* do it). So far the best I've found is:
grep Package:.*ncurses /var/lib/dpkg/available | less
which at least gives me a list of only packages whose names contain
"ncurses".
There's probably a much nicer way to do this, and if so I'd appreciate a
documentation pointer.
