The libdeflate dependency for the notcurses 3.0.0-2 package is specified in "makedepends=" instead of "depends=", which can cause the following error when running the demo programs:

> notcurses-demo: error while loading shared libraries: libdeflate.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce:

1. pacman -R libdeflate
2. pacman -S notcurses
3. notcurses-demo
