You really can't just unilaterally change the cons25 terminfo entry.  If
this proposed change is implemented, people running stock FreeBSD will
have their consoles broken if they log into a Debian system.  If
kFreeBSD needs different settings than the stock cons25 entry, it needs
to create and use a different TERM type.
