Has someone prototyped this yet?
I'm sure I've noticed various attempts at sensible-xterm scripts being
posted about, but has someone made a .deb of it yet? You should be able to
make a sensible-xterm.deb that includes /usr/bin/sensible-xterm-emulator,
depends, recommends or suggests kterm or hanterm or whatever's
appropriate, and does:
dpkg-divert --package sensible-xterm --remove --rename \
--divert /usr/bin/X11/xterm.x11 /usr/bin/X11/xterm
ln -s /usr/bin/sensible-xterm-emulator /usr/bin/X11/xterm
in its postinst, and something analogous in its prerm. People can then
install sensible-xterm.deb and see if it works for everyone, without
having to try to convince Branden, or -policy or anyone. As soon as
its known to work, and xterm itself has turned out not to have improved
enough, it can be recommended or depended on by xfree86-common or so.
Cheers,
