Whether it's multi-arch enabled depends on the debhelper and dpkg-dev
versions on the build system. With debhelper from squeeze-backports and
dpkg-dev from squeeze, ncurses builds fine (without multiarch support, of
course).
And adding build-dependencies on multiarch-support would be very
unfriendly to backporters.
