Subject says "override: libncurses5:libs/important" but please
consider downgrading it to even lower than important!

The important priority will pull it into a regular debootstrap.
It's a library, why now have dependencies just pull it in if needed?!

(Yes, sure there might be some important package depending on it
and policy says yada, yada... but sooner or later policy
will get fixed -> #758234 )
