Public bug reported:

This package being missing breaks several packages people currently use, and 
breaks compilation of the Android Open Source Project for every current release.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncurses/+question/707838

Google has started work on deprecating libncurses5 host usage internally
(see https://groups.google.com/g/android-building/c/Sv_v2ApJZug), but
that will not happen until at least Android 15 (later this year), and
does not at all address the previous Android releases that are still
supported and get security tags. We need this package to continue
building AOSP for those previous releases.

** Affects: ncurses (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
