Should we use the Fedora 27 bindist for Ubuntu?

The current bindist for ubuntu (https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.5/ghc-8.6.5-x86_64-deb9-linux.tar.xz) tries to use libtinfo.so.5, but since at least 16.04, Ubuntu provides libtinfo.so.6 but not libtinfo.so.5.

The Fedora 27 bindist (https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.5/ghc-8.6.5-x86_64-fedora27-linux.tar.xz) uses libtinfo.so.6, and is what stack uses.
