[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#804576: genometools-common: hardcoded dependency on libncurses5

Package: genometools-common
Version: 1.5.7-2
User: ncurses at packages.debian.org
Usertags: hardcoded-dependency

The genometools-common package hardcodes many library dependencies,
which is going to be a problem if any of those libraries changes
soname.  In the case of libncurses5, this is going to happen after the
Stretch release.

The upstream changelog for version 1.5.2 mentions that the dependency on
ncurses has been removed, so you probably want to remove both the
dependency on libncurses5 in genometools-common and the libncurses5-dev
build dependency.
