Actually, what you want to install is the ncurses-term package. From
the Packages file:
Package: ncurses-term
[...]
description: Video terminal manipulation: additional terminal files
This package contains all of the terminal definitions not found in
the ncurses-base package. There are far too many to list here.
The base ncurses package just contains a couple of basic entries which
should be enough for most people. Since an amiga isn't exaclty a
'standard' linux terminal ( :) ) it's not included in the stripped
down termcap file. Install ncurses-term and you'll be OK. But 'most'
people don't really need the full version.
