[home and end behaviour reversed when editing command lines in xterm]

This problem has been fixed in xbase 3.3.2.2-2 and newer (including the
version in stable), by an update of the conffile /etc/X11/Xresources
which now has
! Make the delete key generate ^[[3~ instead of ^?, per Debian keyboard
policy.
! Make the home and end keys appear to always be in keypad-application mode.
! Include override for BackSpace because older xterms do not understand the
! backarrowKey resource.
*VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\
                               <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\
                               <Key>Home: string("\033OH")\n\
                               <Key>End: string("\033OF")

HTH,
