You should see to it that debian's xterm config works for ALL users of
debian systems. "users" covers people who connect to debian systems, not
just people who run debian on their own desktops.
Right now, you have the "majority" covered. But you could cover 100% of
them by following the xterm FAQ recommendations.
The fact that you deliberately choose not to, shows a poor attitude towards
making debian the best it can be.
Nothing shows this off better than your own proud proclamation that you
ignored a direct request from the founder of Debian, Ian, to make xterm
configs more globally compatible.
