In debian, libncurses.so is not installed unless libncurses-dev is
also installed. Therefore, programs should open libncurses.so.5
directly.
No. Ideally the installation script for your program would create a
symlink from a private directory for your program to the libncurses that
your program should open, which would probably point to the SONAME symlink.
Good idea. How do I find the SONAME symlink portably, though?
One possibility could be to require the -dev package when building,
create a program that links against -lncurses, and use ldd or
equivalents to find the SONAME -- but again, ldd is not portable...
