Of the -static packages in Debian, only bash it seems. Version 4.1-3
will FTBFS when I make the intended changes to fix bug #644426, but
4.2-1~exp1 does not link to ncurses so should not be affected (didn't
test it because of #641350).
But maybe we should also think about our users who will have a hard time
linking anything statically with ncurses.
