That's because of the findutils bug #827724[1]. From the build log[2]:
,----
| dh_install -pncurses-bin -Xncurses5-config -Xncursesw5-config
| find: Duplicate file type 'l' in the argument list to -type.
| find: Duplicate file type 'l' in the argument list to -type.
| find: Duplicate file type 'l' in the argument list to -type.
| find: Duplicate file type 'l' in the argument list to -type.

Unfortunately the findutils bug did not cause the build to fail, since
"dh_install -X" runs find in a shell pipe. :-/
I'll ask for a binNMU on the affected architectures.
Cheers,
Sven
