Correct.

Still present in unstable. I actually reported this myself against
ruby-curses 1.2.4-1 about 1.5 years ago with no reaction so far:
https://bugs.debian.org/958973 (It's also marked as affecting irqtop
btw.)

So the Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers (Cc'ed) should take this as a
reminder that their ruby-curses package is horribly outdated with
regards to upstream releases.

Note to myself: Do not confuse ruby-curses
(https://github.com/ruby/curses) with ruby-ncurses
(https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/ncursesw-ruby). The former is
outdated in Debian, the latter hasn't seen much recent activity
upstream.
