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

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Dear Sven,

I see. Thanks for the reminder!

> The upstream changelog for version 1.5.2 mentions that the dependency on

As upstream, I can confirm that :) Just hasn’t been reflected in the deps.
I have just removed the unnecessary dependency from the package and will test and reupload.

Cheers
Sascha
