perhaps not.  For quite a while gpm was built with a bogus linkage to
ncurses to appease some applications which abused the ncurses interface. 
More recently, both gpm (package) and ncurses (upstream) have changes
to eliminate this linkage.

MC could be built with ncurses, but its maintainers have been not
much interested in maintaining that configuration(*).  When built with
slang, mc has additional code (built-in - not based on slang) using
select() to allow using the mouse to drag/scroll.

Usually MC is built with a bundled (and separately maintained) copy
of slang, so it is not readily apparent that it is using slang.
But you can easily check this by doing a strings on the binary.
For instance, on my (testing), I see this:

SLsmg_printf
SLsmg_Display_Eight_Bit
SLutf8_enable
SLtt_beep
SLang_getkey
SLsmg_write_string
SLsmg_write_char

I don't recall seeing any comments (or package diffs) for MC that make
it use MC.

(*) equally, since MC for quite a while used gcc-specific code which would
not compile with an ANSI C compiler, I was uninterested in wasting much
time with it.

I have the MC version from Sarge and Sid, and all two are compiled
with ncurses. Now I do not understand anything...

 I didn't seem to notice this bug before. May be it appeared in recent

I just enter in the directory in MC panel, for example /usr/src.

Note the old bash prompt. It have not disappeared. The new bash prompt have 
appeared right after it. My bash prompt format is:
