Note I forgot to update the version in libncursesw5.info and ncurses.info to 
match and have now done so.

The ncurses5 packages build with --with-abi-version=5 to be backward compatible 
while using the 6.0 source. The ncurses6 packages only use 
--with-abi-version=6. We’re going to need both for some time until everything 
can get updated. This way they can coexist.
