New comment by am11 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14488#issuecomment-770241203 Comment: Conversely, if the rationale behind existing packages with explicit dependency on `ncurses-base` (i.e. [`newsboat`](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/2635aeec82926d6228fef8e8622cf2d583a1b400/srcpkgs/newsboat/template#L12) and [`pick`](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/df7ebc36a9ffb208a0d60da58a98a2c4936b1735/srcpkgs/pick/template#L9)) is that they do not function without this dependency, then I think `nano` also qualifies.
