Package: lib64ncurses5
Version: 5.9-7
It seems to me that I went a bit overboard with the /usr/share/doc
symlinks introduced in version 5.9-7, since they require that the biarch
libraries have a strict dependency on libtinfo5.
During the wheezy+1 cycle, we may decide to remove the lib32/lib64
packages (I very much hope that, given the complexity they add to the
packaging!) in favor of multiarch, but users may want to keep them a
little longer, e.g. because third-party software depends on these
packages. They would be forced to hold back the native libraries and
the ncurses-bin package as well, which is not good.
So I propose to convert /usr/share/doc/lib{32,64}tinfo back to
directories and loosen or remove the dependency of the biarch packages
on libtinfo5.
