yes - I overlooked that yesterday when making fixes to the scripts.
(at the time, I was just fixing the naming inconsistencies).

I'll be revisiting this again anyway: it would be nice if I could configure
things so that termcap was supported with the libraries split up.  But in
that special case, libtic contains symbols needed by tinfo.  (I think it
might be possible to use weak symbols to do this, but only have it on a
to-do list so far - I'm reluctant to move things between libraries of
course).  Since Debian isn't making use of termcap, that's an academic
point...
