Over-optimized for happy path in "Probe failed for libncurses5-dev" warning.

[03juan]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I think I overoptimized PR #521 for #518, the real intent of the warning ends up looking messy for users:

Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to give the fix another go with a more sophisticated approach that tests for either package, and then warns if none are found by favoring libncurses-dev.

My proposal is to include both libraries individually in common_debian_pkgs and then extend the probe loop by special-casing the *ncurses* package tests, only warn if none are found, and ensure this works for all os releases, not just deb-based.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried to use expansion to test for either package, which works in a bash/zsh shell:

But not in sh:

Additional context

This will then encourage users to favor the "new" package, but not complain if the system only has "5" installed.

I don't think that we should complicate the probing mechanism more than it is. It's a rather "best effort" thing.
