Thanks for the patch, but you had better base it on git master rather
than the version in unstable. Could you please adapt it to the
multiarch related changes? Both libtinfo5 and libtinfo5-dev should be
"Multi-Arch: same" then.
Otherwise the patch looks good to me, with only minor nitpicks:

"Priority: optional" is missing, and there is no need for ${shlibs:Depends}.

Since the package is new, MINVER can be set to 0 for all symbols.
Thanks,
