Bug#462773: libcurses-perl: should decide between wide characters or not

Package: libcurses-perl
Version: 1.20-1
Severity: normal

The upstream code of libcurses-perl prefers the wide-character version
of the ncurses library when available. We currently build-depend on
libncurses5. When built with libncursesw5 installed the build result
will be different from the package in the archive.

This shows up on Lucas' Build Daemon From Hell tests
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/01/msg00869.html>, and I
think it should be fixed one way or other.

I suggest build-depending on libncursesw5, ie. enabling wide-character
support, since that's what upstream prefers too.
