Bug#189764: Inconsistent doc for shifted keypad in xterm's terminfo entry

[Henning Makholm <henning@makholm.net>]

Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: minor

/usr/share/doc/xterm/xterm.terminfo.gz contains

# The terminfo defines some special keys which are documented as "shifted",
# e.g., kDC is shifted-delete-character.  In this description, the modifier is
# actually the control key, to avoid conflict with the common usage of shifted
# pageup and pagedown for window manager functions.
#
xterm-xfree86|xterm-new|xterm terminal emulator (XFree86),
        npc,
        kDC=\E[3;2~,
        kEND=\EO2F,
        kHOM=\EO2H,

where the funny thing is that "\E[3;2~" is actually what xterm
sends when one presses shift-del, rather than control-del. Control-del
would be \E[3;5~. Similarly for the other shifted capabilities. Thus
the actual terminfo code differs from what the comment claims about it.

Interestingly, the actual terminfo record for xterm in ncurses-base
(5.3.20021109-2) contains, according to infocmp:

#       Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /etc/terminfo/x/xterm
xterm|X11 terminal emulator,
        am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl,
(... blah blah blah ...)
        kDC=\E[3;5~, kEND=\EO5F, kHOM=\EO5H, kIC=\E[2;5~,
        kLFT=\EO5D, kNXT=\E[6;5~, kPRV=\E[5;5~, kRIT=\EO5C,
(... blah blah blah ...)

which matches the *comment* in the xterm doc file, rather than the
actual *code*.
