Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know if the lib{32,64}ncurses*-dev
packages need special treatment or if they can use the .pc files from
their normal counterparts?  I see that the .pc files set
libdir=/usr/lib, but (fortunately) do not use -L${libdir} in Libs, so
they might work for the lib{32,64}*-dev packages as well, but I'm not a
pkg-config expert.

If the lib{32,64}*-dev packages needed their own .pc files, where would
those be installed?

Cheers,
       Sven
