A trivial patch is attached, and I have also created a merge request on
Salsa:

Subject: [PATCH] Include the xterm-256color terminfo entry in
 di-utils-terminfo

This is a prerequisite for switching from the old unmaintained vte
package to vte2.91, as the latter sets TERM to xterm-256color by
default.

Closes: #1061121
