[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#716687: libghc-ncurses-dev: libncurses5-dev dependency

[Harmen]

Package: libghc-ncurses-dev
Version: 0.2.1-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It would be nice if debian package libghc-ncurses-dev can depend on
libncurses5-dev and libncursesw5-dev.
Without those two you get link errors in ghc for a trivial program which imports
'UI.NCurses':
    harmen at pixel:~/play/sheep$ ghc --make main.hs
    Linking main ...
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpanel
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncursesw
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I don't see any use of installing libghc-ncurses-dev when one doesn't want to
compile a haskell program.

Thanks,
Harmen
