The ncurses development packages are going to see a change after the Stretch release, ncursesw5-config will be replaced by ncursesw6-config. Your package disables the ncurses frontend if ncursesw5-config is not present on the build system. From my pbuilder log: ,---- | checking for ncursesw5-config... no | checking for ncurses - wide char support... no | *** The ncursesw5-config script installed by ncursesw could not be found | *** If ncursesw was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in | *** your path, or set the NCURSES_CONFIG environment variable to the | *** full path to ncursesw5-config. | [...] | -- Frontends -- | - Curses No; missing libraries `---- The archlinux people did[1] sed -i 's/ncursesw5-config/ncursesw6-config/g' acinclude.m4 which obviously only works if a) ncurses actually starts shipping ncursesw6-config, and b) angband regenerates the configure script, e.g. with dh_autoreconf. 1. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/angband/trunk/PKGBUILD?id=e57bea45a128bfd527bfc6e6c70f0d5ca1d78f8f
