In /lib/terminfo should be only a minimal set that might be required
when doing system administration with /usr unmounted. Wondering how
xterm got there.

Ok. Maybe I'd use a bit different naming instead:
ncurses-bin: bin/*
ncurses-base: lib*.so.* /etc/terminfo /lib/terminfo, some of /usr/share/terminfo
ncurses-terminfo: rest of /usr/share/terminfo
ncurses: requires: -bin -base -terminfo
How does this sound?
