Thanks Branden.  I relize that there is a lot of good from having $TERM
default to xterm-debian.  I think I'll add wrappers to my remote login
commands to change xterm-debian to xterm on my next build and leave the
default as is.  However, for the new users, perhaps it would be good to
ask them which sort of problems they would prefer during the xterm
installation.  How difficult would this be?

Thanks,
Brandon
