The 'ncurses-terminfo' is a large package (>500kB) and contains definitions
for exotic terminal.  The definitions on 'ncurses' take only 6kB and cover
perhaps 95% of all use cases (linux, xterm, vt100, screen).

I will move them into an own -terminfo-base package; atm I am not sure
whether I should write

| RSUGGESTS_${PN}-libtinfo = "${PN}-terminfo"
| RRECOMMENDS_${PN}-libtinfo = "${PN}-terminfo-base"

or

| RPROVIDES_${PN}-terminfo = "virtual/terminfo"
| RPROVIDES_${PN}-terminfo-base = "virtual/terminfo"
| RDEPENDS_${PN}-libtinfo = "virtual/terminfo"

I tend to the first variant.
