I'm sorry, I don't understand what do you mean. I'm not talking
about removing curses.buildlink3.mk. What I'm trying to say is that
adding terminfo.buildlink3.mk will add terminfo to netbsd, and is
not needed.  The solution is to let the package peak -ltinfo if
ncurses is split.

ncurses|tinfo is not the same as netbsd curses|terminfo.
cbreak is in netbsd curses.
If ncurses is split, cbreak is in libtinfo.
