Not necessary since debhelper 8.1.3 pulls that in already; and for
potential Squeeze backports that would need to be taken out. We could
also drop the dpkg-dev build dependency completely since 1.15.7 is older
than the one in stable. I guess all this doesn't matter much because
probably nobody is ever going to do a backport of ncurses anyway.

The reason why I had not do this yet is that the output of
"ncurses5-config --libdir" and "ncurses5-config --libs" is not correct
for foreign architectures. But since the libraries are installed in the
default linker search path anyway, that might be irrelevant.
I think I'll just go ahead and make this change, waiting for someone
cross-building software to complain if it doesn't work.
Thanks,
