Oh, I didn't know this had already been tried and that there were any problems. 
Is there a way I can test problems with dependencies? 

And if this way of adding libtinfo is not possible, would it perhaps be a good idea to simply copy the ncurses template, into a new tinfo-libs package, which would build ncurses with tinfo, but only copy over the libtinfo.so library? 
Or simply add a symlink called libtinfo.so to libncurses.so?

The way I understand this to work, is, that when you build ncurses with `--with-termlib` it removes some functions from the libncurses.so and puts them into libtinfo.so (*I verified this by building both with and without `--with-termlib`, and then using `nm -D` to extract exposed symbols, combining the results, and then diff'ing on the ncurses without termlib*).   
This way libncurses.so would stay the same, and we would only add libtinfo.so.
