I replaced the proposed ncurses6.info with libncurses6-shlibs.info to allow
for the common ncurses split-off (in case they decide to go with a separate
libncursesw6 package and not use --with-abi-version=5).

ps The only only Distro that I see using --with-abi-version=5 is Debian but
they appear to build completely with -with-abi-version=5 and never use
-with-abi-version=6 at all.
