I had come to the same conclusion. For better or worse, packages are
not only built in minimal chroots, so screen had better be fixed not to
gain the extraneous dependencies if libncurses5-dev or libutempter-dev
are installed on the build system. I have filed bugs #819781 and
#819789 for that purpose, you're welcome to tackle them.
Cheers,
