python either must not look at ncurses at all or must explicitely depend
on the the ncurses package.

While that is a simple trick, it clutters the namespace for include files.
We would have to force more packages to ignore the header when it were
visible at the top level directory.
The correct way is to provide an include path to the ncurses subdirectory
if and only if the package also has a dependency to the ncurses package.
I'll have a look.
