This bugs concerns stable release (squeeze), not wheezy. 

Moreover, you mention that you cannot build this package. This is surprising 
since build logs in clean chroot [1] mentions that libncurses5-dev is dragged 
in (albeit with an indirect build-dependency).

Are you building this package on a pristine squeeze system ?


All the best
