can you place this in a separate patch please?

This part is wrong; libtermcap functionality is provided by libtinfo and
does not need whole libncurses.

A linker script libtermcap.so with

| INPUT(-ltinfo)

might be a better solution for .so.

This is not needed; DL_NEEDED will be libtinfo.so.X both if you create a
symlink or use the linkerscript.  There is nothing with a libtermcap.so.5
SONAME either.
