IMO, yes, even if it is odd, they should be put in
/usr/include/ncurses.  At least programs won't have to be modified to
use the ncurses version of unctrl.h like they would if you renamed it. 
The correct headers will be used by a simple switch to gcc - see below.

This can be handled via
  CC='gcc -I/usr/include/ncurses'
so that the headers in ncurses is found instead of the headers in
/usr/include.


Cheers,
