It seems this is not necessary after all. :-) We can configure the Debian package with "--with-default-terminfo-dir=/usr/share/terminfo" instead. Since we're also configuring with --with-terminfo-dirs="/etc/terminfo:/lib/terminfo:/usr/share/terminfo" , this does not affect the directory search order at runtime, /etc/terminfo still is looked at before the other directories.
