Package: ncurses-bin / libncurses5-dev
Version: 5.6+20080308-1
Severity: important

ncurses-bin ships the ncurses5-config binary.

Running ncurses5-bin --cflags reports "-I/usr/include/ncurses"  But
this is wrong.  The package does not provide /usr/include/ncurses.
Even if libncurses5-dev is installed, then it puts the header files in
/usr/include NOT /usr/include/ncurses Consequently any build
configurations which rely on ncurses5-config will break.


ncurses5-config should be shipped by libncurses5-dev and not
ncurses5-bin and it should give the correct information.
