The understanding is correct, Torsten.

For the particular "python" package the requirement might be ok. I spoke
about the _general_ requirement for the system "ncurses-dev" package to
be installed under Linux.

Nothing is wrong here. Fact is just that OpenPKG requires "ncurses-dev"
anyway under Linux, so I thought it should not hurt you for "python",
too.
I see that the "python" package has a "with_curses" option, too. Would
using this already solve your problem or do we first have to patch
Python to correctly find OpenPKG's "ncurses" and solve your problem?
