Usertags: ncurses5-config

The ncurses development packages are going to see a change after the
Stretch release, ncurses5-config will be replaced by ncurses6-config.
Your package FTBFS if ncurses5-config is not present on the build
system.  From my pbuilder log:

,----
| checking for ncurses5-config... no
| checking for location of ncurses.h header file... found in /usr/include
| checking for location of ncurses library file... configure: error: Cannot 
find curses library file: ncurses; cannot configure
| debian/rules:23: recipe for target 'stamp-configure' failed
| make: *** [stamp-configure] Error 1
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
`----

It would seem that the checks in common/accommon.m4 need to be adjusted
and the configure script regenerated.  However, as your package does not
currently run autoreconf to do so, nor does it use debhelper which would
make it feasible to run dh_autoreconf from debian/rules, I'm afraid I
cannot come up with a patch. :-(
