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

Bug#827797: ncurses-bin: The files under /usr/bin/ are missing.

Package: ncurses-bin
Version: 6.0+20160319-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading ncurses-bin to 6.0+20160319-2, the binary files in /usr/bin/ 
are gone. No more command "clear", etc. After inspecting the files from 
ncurses-bin, they are not included:
$ dpkg -L ncurses-bin
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/ncurses-bin
/usr/share/doc/ncurses-bin/FAQ
/usr/share/doc/ncurses-bin/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/ncurses-bin/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/ncurses-bin/copyright
/usr/share/man


However, if I download the source with apt (apt-get source ncurses-bin), then 
rebuild it with "debuild", the created ncurses-bin deb does contain those 
binary files. Any changes to ncruses-bin or did I mss anything? 

Thank you very much.

Steven
