Package: foot-terminfo
Version: 1.15.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Two years ago the foot and foot-direct terminfo entries were added to
ncurses upstream, and I would like to include them in the ncurses-term
package, replacing the ones shipped currently in the foot-terminfo
package.

This requires coordinated uploads of foot and ncurses, adding a
versioned Breaks/Replaces on foot-terminfo to ncurses-term and a
versioned dependency on ncurses-term to foot.  The foot-terminfo package
would either become a transitional package or could be dropped entirely.

The benefit for foot users would be that ncurses-term is much more
likely to be installed on any remote system they might want to connect
to than foot-terminfo (popcon score is 96.39% vs 0.58%).
