ncurses 6.4-3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ncurses (6.4-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Configure with "--disable-root-environ" to disallow loading of
    custom terminfo entries in setuid/setgid programs, mitigating the
    impact of CVE-2023-29491 (see #1034372).
    - Update the symbols files for the newly exported symbol
      _nc_env_access.
    - New patch fix-configure-root-args-option.diff cherry-picked from
      the 20230415 patchlevel, fixing a copy/paste error which caused
      the "--disable-root-environ" configure option to pick up code
      meant to be used by the "--disable-root-args" option instead.
    - New patch debian-env-access.diff, changing the behavior of the
      "--disable-root-environ" configure option to not restrict programs
      run by the superuser, equivalent to the "--disable-setuid-environ"
      option introduced in the 20230423 patchlevel.
