> So what does this mean for you. Well, first it may be worth filing a
bug with your distro.
FYI, in Debian, this was fixed in 2010:

> If you are comfortable compiling terminfo entries, you could even try
fixing and reinstalling the terminfo entry yourself.
This is quite easy with the {{{infocmp}}} and {{{tic}}} commands.
> From my side, I think it may be worth automatically translating \177 to
KEY_BACKSPACE.
I disagree. The use of \177 for KEY_BACKSPACE is specific to Linux (and
other OS that copied on Linux). AFAIK, this is why upstream does not
change kbs to follow the Linux convention. Other platforms may choose
KEY_DELETE.
