Package: stterm
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It seems, that using st-256color TERM name for st=0.8 is incorrect.
Note, that ncurses-term provides several versions of `st' terminfo
database:

        /usr/share/terminfo/s/st
        /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-0.6
        /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-0.7
        /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-16color
        /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-256color
        /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-direct
        /usr/share/terminfo/s/stterm-16color

I am no terminfo expert, but seems last update broke my dvtm setup.
st=0.8-1 with TERM=st-256color looks bad, while with TERM=st-0.7 looks
okay.

I attach compressed screencast (created with bin:termrec) for
demonstration. Download it and play like following:
