Is the Debian package doing this part?
No. Adding this option does build the package, and results in a libtic.so not
depending on the ncurses library.
How many packages will now fail to build assuming that this dependency is
present?
I was mainly talking about the other programs such as readline,
which use the terminfo-level library.
However...
tic (and the other ncurses utilities such as infocmp, as well as tack) use a
third part of the ncurses library, which is complicated by whatever commands are
used to link. As I recall it, those _could_ be linked without the middle-level
ncurses library, since they require only features from the tic-library and the
low-level terminfo-library. (At the moment I don't recall if I've set this up in
the makefile to handle that combination).
The terminfo-level library as I've seen it in the other systems is made into one
version by adjusting the linkage commands in their packages. So I thought it
would be something useful to investigate.
well, this would only affect ncurses internal dependencies?
