I'll prepare another NMU.
Let me point out that I have published a new version in my capacity as the upstream author, and that I am also in this very moment beginning to prepare a new Debian package for 1.5.1-1. The upstream code has seen a change in "test/terminfo.c" to always succeed, even if TERM is unset in the environment. Furthermore, "configure.ac" has been modified to pass an explicit linking flag, which manages the inteded linking against libtinfo on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenIndiana. The first issue takes care of the architecture discrepancies, and the second issue covers the work-around implemented by Ubuntu's package maintainer.
