Bug#736481: nettoe: FTBFS due to test suite failures

Let me for the record add a comment that the test suite
can fail of exactly one reason:

   /* test/terminfo.c  */

   if ((sp = getenv("TERM")) == NULL) {
     printf();
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
   }

Thus the observed FTBFS is caused by a build environment
lacking a defined TERM.

I am unable to reproduce the failure on i386 using

   $ pbuilder --build --twice ...

Could it be that libtinfo-dev_5.9+20140118-1 is interfering?
But on the other hand, my pbuilder call generates the same
dependency on libncurses.
