DESCRIPTION="Compatibility package for old termcap-based programs"
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-09-11 19:01:31 UTC 
actually, maybe use 'Compatibility package for old termcap-based programs, to 
be used for binary packages ONLY'

since source packages can use ncurses ... we wouldnt want new src ebuilds 
depending on this instead of ncurses
