Thomas has done this in the 20100612 patch, and I have just backported
it to our version since I think we're not going to switch to a newer
upstream patchlevel before squeeze.

I have added "Replaces: mlterm-common (<< 3.0.1-2)" and
"Breaks: mlterm-common (<< 3.0.1-2)" to ncurses-term. The latter is to
enforce an upgrade of mlterm-common, lest installing and then removing
ncurses-term might lose the mlterm terminfo entry.
Since mlterm-common 3.0.1-2 will have to depend on
ncurses-term (>= 5.7+20100313-3) we'll need to coordinate
simultaneous uploads of ncurses and mlterm to avoid uninstallability.
Cheers,
Sven
