Sometimes, having something *work* is better than it being consistent.
The whole problem seems to have stemmed from you moving a file off /usr
that required ncurses, ie it might not have been a problem before
(except maybe for tcsh).

Well, for ncurses, it seems to have been changed intentionally to have
the links in /lib:

http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/ncurses/ncurses.spec.diff?r1=1.15&r2=1.16&f=h

Maybe you should ask Warly if he remembers why it was changed (changelog
in this case isn't very useful ...).
