Ok,

I hadn't noticed this before - why does newt have its own copy of libgpm
(or why isn't libgpm-dev available for kfreebsd, etc) ?

Hello,

Please drop the libgpm-dev dependency completely. Contrary to what the
name suggests, gpm support in newt doesn't need libgpm, as newt has its
own copy of the libgpm source (and it makes it FTBFS on non-linux archs
which don't have it).
