Bug#3163: disconnects between ncurses-base and xbase

[Bill Mitchell <mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com>]

Package: ncurses-base
Version: 1.9.9e-1

I'm not sure if this is an xterm or an ncurses bug or both,
so I'm entering bug reports against both packages.  This is an
issue on which I've previously reported bugs, probably
against earlier versions of these packages.

With xterm from xbase-3.1.2-9,
and with /usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm from ncurses-base-1.9.9e-1
I see the following discrepancies:

In an xterm, "cat -v" shows:
right, left, up, down:  ^[[D ^[[C ^[[A ^[[B
F1 thru F5:    ^[[11~ ^[[12~ ^[[13~ ^[[14~ ^[[15~
F6 thru F10:   ^[[17~ ^[[18~ ^[[19~ ^[[20~ ^[[21~
F11 thru F15:  ^[[23~ ^[[24~ ^[[25~ ^[[26~ ^[[28~
F16 thru F20:  ^[[29~ ^[[31~ ^[[32~ ^[[33~ ^[[34~

And Backspace produces ^? ('\177')
And Home produces ^[[^@ (the ^@ is illegal, I think)
And End produces ^[[e

However, "infocmp xterm" shows:
kcub1=\EOD, kcud1=\EOB, kcuf1=\EOC, kcuu1=\EOA
kf1=\EOP,  kf2=\EOQ, kf3=\EOR, kf4=\EOS (remaindier look OK)
kbs=^H, kdch1=\E[3~
And capabilities for khome and kend are not present
