Hi! I've been annoyed for a long time now with the fact that Debian uses xterm-debian as the TERM-variable. It can't surve any purpose for all i know, if the purpose isn't to be as incompatible with other *IX standards. Why not only use xterm-color instead?
I could always set TERM=xterm myself, but that create trouble for some of the packages. And xterm-debian mucks with some programs that i compile and install myself. I don't know why they have started using this standard - but i sure think it sucks. If anyone could give me a correct answer to WHY i would be very grateful. Perhaps point me to some old discussion about it. That's about the only thing i don't like with Debian at the moment. I have been running it since Hamm was unstable and always used the unstable branches and almost never had any big trouble with it.
