Sysinst originated before the extensions to our in-tree curses that added
things like ACS support.  So, changing it to use ACS now sounds like a good
idea to me.  If you look at <curses.h>, you'll see defaults for the ACS
characters - if the terminal doesn't support ACS, curses will display the
default characters instead.
