Bug#790401: openssh: Please pass the XTERM_VERSION environment variable



Source: openssh
Version: 1:6.7p1-6
Severity: wishlist

Passing the terminal version to the server side is useful for programs
that depend on some terminal features (for instance, to make sure that
some query escape sequence will receive an answer).

In the case of xterm, it is provided by XTERM_VERSION, which should be
added to the SendEnv line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and to the AcceptEnv
line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Alternatively, standardize something like that for all terminals.
