Unfortunately your package FTBFS after the recent ncurses upload. From
my suild log:
,----

`----
There seem to be two problems here:
1. The terminfo files in ncurses-base have been relocated to
/usr/share/terminfo, therefore debian/di-utils-terminfo/lib/terminfo
and its parent directory do not exist yet.
2. tic with the -o option, or with TERMINFO set, is unable to create
directories more than one level deep. It does, however, not complain
about that, but silently writes to ${HOME}/.terminfo instead (or tries
to - in this case it fails).
I'll report the second issue upstream, but the first should be solved in
debian-installer-utils.
