Description
Maintainer: @Andy2244
Environment: ramips/mt7621, OpenWrt 22.03.0-rc5
Description:
My understanding is that currently ncurses package is split into libncurses and libncurses-dev.
There is no option to get the binaries, or progs as the ncurses package calls them for the target:
tic, infocmp, captoinfo, tset, reset, clear, tput, toe, tabs
Could you provide another ifdef called Package/libncurses-bin or Package/libncurses-progs to the Makefile that builds and packages just the binaries from the ncurses package?

Research direction
Start with the ncurses package Makefile and trace how the existing libncurses and libncurses-dev packages are defined. Check how a separate package could include tic, infocmp, captoinfo, tset, reset, clear, tput, toe, and tabs, then verify the target package contains those binaries.
