Perhaps, but "init" is also the name of the program run as PID 1, and
ncurses does not install an "init" symlink in the bin/ directory.

This causes an init.1 symlink to tput.1 to be installed, which is bad
because there is no corresponding program and at least on Debian the
manpage clashes with the one provided by the systemd-sysv package.
