Not quite. 

My issue originates from the fact that this package's toplevel Makefile.in does
not acknowledge libdir (and other *dir's.

When having fixed this, other bugs show up:

* DESTDIR handling is broken

* shared lib without SONAME.
IMHO, inacceptable, esp. not for a package which aims at implementing something
such kind of essential as a curses library.

* Several files from the devel-package conflict/clash with ncurses (MUSTFIX)

* The package installs an autoheader generated autoheader as
/usr/include/config.h (MUSTFIX).

* The devel-package lumps together x11 and sdl libraries.
IMO, the x11, sdl and other lib subsets should be split into separate
subpackages.

* The devel-package likely lacks deps on many other *-devel packages.
I haven't tried to check for details, yet.

* Shipping static libs. 
Jon, feel strongly encouraged not to ship them.

Urgh, what is this? More silly bureaucracy?
