gpm is also low level, and I don't think that adding gpm 
runtime dependency will lead to additional runtime dependencies.
Also there shouldn't be any circular dependency since (unless
I am missing something) the ncurses symbols are declared weak in
gpm, and therefore gpm doesn't depend on ncurses.

There is already a circular build dependency since gpm-devel 
BuildRequires ncurses-devel and ncurses BuildRequires gpm-devel.

I don't have any idea how this could be avoided, though.
Indeed gpm requires the ncurses headers, and ncurses also
requires gpm headers (and libs currently to get soname, though
in my opinion it should be linked against gpm...).
