Package: ncurses Version: 5.9+20150516-2 Severity: wishlist Hello!
I'm planning on switching src:util-linux from using slang to using ncurses(w), since that is the upstream recommended and supported build option. Since util-linux builds tools used by the debian installer and thus provides udebs, all dependencies will also need to provide udebs. Thus, please provide an udeb for libncursesw5 (and in turn libtinfo5). Apart from the added packages which means you'll need to go through the NEW queue, the added overhead is the maintenance of a shlibs file (as udebs does not handle debian/*.symbols) which needs the mentioned version bumped every time a change is done to the corresponding symbols file. Except from a few special fields in debian/control the only real difference between the real package and the udeb is that you drop usr/share/doc from the package content. I'd like to move forward on this as soon as possible. If you'd like me to provide patches, please tell me! Thanks in advance.
