Then it sounds like the problem can be solved by copying the overrides
from a Debian /etc/X11/Xresources (running xbase 3.3.2.3-1) machine to a
user-specific or global Xresources file on the non-Debian host.
Alternatively, you could do some fancy magic with your .{t}cshrc or
.bashrc on the Debian box, and have an if block conditional on the
value of $DISPLAY, and if true, do merge in the overrides with xrdb.
Inelegant, but it should work.
