Yes this is what I though as well, and thus:

  [1] Check-in [18883]: screen uses tgetent(3) and must therefore
                    depend on ncurses.

However, some weeks later Thomas LOTTERER discovered:

  [2] Check-in [19549]: CORE class screen must not depend on
                    BASE class ncurses; SuSE9.[01], Mandrake 10,
                    HPUX and Solaris10 have been tested to work
                    without that requirement, so lets see which
                    part of the build farm fails.

If you have decisive proof that ncurses is or isn't needed, then
it would help to know this. I haven't looked into this since
tgetent(3) was required, so maybe things have changed since then?

Regards,
Michael
