thanks
The problem is that the upstream makefiles no longer find the ncurses
libraries since they moved to the multiarch directories:

`----
The code to find the ncurses/termcap libraries is really weird, but
thankfully it is possible to ignore this crap and simply hardcode
"termcap = -ltinfo" at the end. See the attached patch which can be
dropped into debian/patches (and added to the 00list file). Note that
mined only needs the terminfo part of ncurses, hence I'm not using
-lncurses.
Cheers,
Sven
