This has been caused by the following change in ncurses:

,----
| 20170318
| 	+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque.  Some
| 	  applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
| 	  rather than using def_prog_mode().
`----

Changing the test in configure.ac to use TERMTYPE rather than TERMINAL
fixes the problem, see the attached debdiff.  It is very noisy because
the patch run_autoconf.diff had to be refreshed by rerunning autoreconf.
It would be better to regenerate `configure' at build time, e.g. with
dh_autoreconf.

Cheers,
       Sven
