Thanks for tracking down the regression! This has been bugging me too.

FWIW, I found that the problem seems to be in badly-generated
libncurses ipk files. The 'control' file seems to have lines like
this:

Provides: libncursesw, libncurses, libncursesw

when it should have:

Provides: libncursesw, libncurses, libncursesw6
