[Bug 1637239] Re: Please merge ncurses 6.0+20160917-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

Patch to merge latest debian version (6.0+20161126-1) into to Ubuntu
(last merge was 6.0+20160625-1ubuntu1).

Remaining changes:
- Add a simple autopkgtest to the package.
- Build x32 packages.
- Build lib32 packages on s390x.

The changes have been forwarded to Debian:
- http://bugs.debian.org/857000 (autopkgtest)
- http://bugs.debian.org/857001 (lib32 packages on s390x)
- http://bugs.debian.org/857003 (x32 packages)


Thanks to Steve Langasek for the info bellow:
The x32 multilib packages (libx32ncurses5) makes as much sense to include in the package as lib32ncurses5 and lib64ncurses5 which are being shipped, and for the same rationale. It's also relevant that there is no official x32 port in either Debian or Ubuntu from which to install the multiarch binaries.

Still it might be controversial on Debian because
https://bugs.debian.org/848163 requests the removal of the multilib
binaries for other arche; has also not been acted on but might be after
Debian stretch is released.

For now we will be keeping the x32 multilib as it is and going forward
with the merge.
