I also like to question why this approach was taken and ncurses was
disabled? There seems to be a feature that linking ncurses in does
offer which through this approach would get disabled.
What is that feature?
Looking at the source, I see no evidence that ncurses is actually
used for anything:
| $ grep -r curses .
| ./src/.svn/text-base/src_static.pro.svn-base:# -lncurses \
| ./src/src_static.pro:# -lncurses \
| ./qcakeplayer/.svn/text-base/qcakeplayer.pro.svn-base: -lncurses \
| ./qcakeplayer/qcakeplayer.pro: -lncurses \
| ./qcweb3d/.svn/text-base/qcweb3d.pro.svn-base: -lncurses \
| ./qcweb3d/qcweb3d.pro: -lncurses \
Sven noticed that ncurses is unused in his original mail:
| Either add libncurses-dev to Build-Depends, or (preferably) patch the
| -lncurses lines out of the */*.pro files, since they are not needed
| (see the corresponding dpkg-shlibdeps warning in the buildd logs).
The warning is:
| dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libncurses.so.5 could be avoided if
"/build/buildd-qcake_0.7.2-2+b1-amd64-ownLSj/qcake-0.7.2/debian/qcake/usr/games/qcakeplayer"
were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).
