/usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm is there on dailies.
And the packages which ships it (libvte-common) did not receive any
updates since buster. So there's no change there I guess.
And on the other side: on debian-11 installer, TERM is also set to
'xterm' as it is now on the dailies, so also no changing here.
But in debian-11 it works nevertheless!
Hmm. Kibi mentioned that this bug comes from ncurses (however I fail to
see any details here), should this be redirected to ncurses then?
