Package: ncurses-base Version: 6.1+20180210-3 Severity: wishlist Many terminal emulators default to TERM=xterm-256color these days, for instance those based on libvte-2.91 as well as KDE's konsole. For better or worse, screen then by default sets TERM to screen.xterm-256color if the latter is present in the terminfo database.
Since terminal emulators setting TERM to xterm-256color are popular and screen is popular, it follows that screen.xterm-256color is also popular and thus should be included in ncurses-base. Opinions from the screen maintainers (in X-Debbugs-CC) would be welcome. The only downside I see is that one of the suggested workarounds for #854414 (installing ncurses-term locally) does no longer work, but I think uninstalling ncurses-term is not a great idea anyway.
