Should have read 5.9-5, but this has already been corrected.

Correct would have been serious, has been corrected as well.

Sorry for not having noticed this in advance. There are two
possibilities to solve that problem:
1. Stop shipping the st-256color terminfo entry in ncurses-term and
continue to include it in suckless-tools.
2. Include st-256color in ncurses-term and stop shipping it in
suckless-tools, which means that suckless-tools have to depend on
ncurses-term (>= 5.9-5), and ncurses-term will add Replaces+Breaks on
suckless-tools (<< 39-1) (or whatever version is the first to stop
shipping st-256color).
I would prefer option 2, since it means that st users actually have a
reasonable chance to find the terminfo entries when they connect to
remote systems, but if the suckless-tools maintainer disagrees, we can
also go for the first option.
Michael (as the prospective suckless-tools maintainer), what is your
opinion on that? I noticed that the version on mentors.debian.net has
already dropped the terminfo entry, but that may have been
unintentional.
Cheers,
Sven
