ncurses 5.9-2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ncurses (5.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Build libncurses and libncursesw with "--with-termlib" and split out
    libtinfo* packages to allow building a libreadline that does not link
    against libncurses.  Thanks to Matthias Klose for the initial patch.
    (Closes: #631592)
    - Add Pre-dependency on libtinfo5 to libncurses5 to prevent possible
      symbol lookup errors if libncurses5 is unpacked before libtinfo5.
    - Replace the libncurses{w,}.so symlinks with linker scripts.  Since
      lintian does not like those in multiarch paths, temporarily add
      overrides (see #639735).
    - Remove spurious leftover libncurses5.so.5 symlinks (Closes: #224450,
      LP: #836246).
  * Ship the ncurses.supp file in libtinfo-dev (Closes: #627474).
  * Configure all library builds except libncurses5 with "--without-progs"
    to reduce build time a bit.
  * Add build-arch and build-indep targets to debian/rules.
  * Use dh_install's "--fail-missing" option.
  * Build for multiarch (Closes: #638281).
    - Mark libncurses5, libncursesw5, libtinfo5 and their -dev counterparts
      as Multi-Arch: same.
    - Mark ncurses-bin as Multi-Arch: foreign.
  * New patch 03-debian-ncursesconfig-omit-L.diff to omit the "-L" part
    from "ncurses5-config --libs" (see #638281).
  * Add rxvt-256color and rxvt-88color entries to debian/rxvt.ti
    (Closes: #638189).
  * Bump debhelper compatibility level to 8.
  * Upgrade Standards-Version to 3.9.2, no changes needed.
