Oh, so it is. Hmm, I seem not to have checked that bit, sorry. Perhaps the presence of the termcap file is irrelevant, or could it be that nano used to be able to make use of that, and more recently only supports terminfo? > Hmm.

Well, ncurses-base provides /lib/terminfo/x/xterm (in normal .deb packages), so perhaps that's why, although AFAICS it wasn't including that file in the udeb, even when things were working. Making it ship a terminfo for xterm in the udeb would probably fix things, but I think it would also be quite nice to know why it broke.
