Okay, thanks for letting me know.

I found the use of DFSG_BUILD to be confusing, so I asked upstream:

https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/2508

We can push the patch pending clarification of that.

They helpfully clarified that we want this option to be ON. So, I've
done that, partially migrated the package to the "new style" [0], and
pushed as 7022eb6ea0f3be2f0eb58617c607ce34dfbff90a.

Thanks a lot for the contribution!

[0] I only changed the inputs to the new style. Changing the package's
arguments field is future work.
