On Debian systems, libncursesw.so is actually a linker script that
pulls libtinfo:

  INPUT(libncursesw.so.5 -ltinfo)

That was done as part of passing --with-termlib to ./configure which
splits out tinfo functions from libncurses to libtinfo.  I guess gentoo
started to use that option (it's not the default) without thinking about
putting such compatibility link script in place.
