Seth,

I assume you are not using the gnu_[date].tar.gz file form 
alpha.gnu.org, and instead are using individual packages.  Is
this correct?

If so, you need to find the ncurses-term package from Debian.
It should be under the admin directory -- it replaces ncurses-base
and will satisfy that dependency.
