xterm-debian exported as terminal type

["Richard E. Hawkins Esq." <hawk@eyry.econ.iastate.edu>]

I'm not sure exactly when this started, but it seems to have been shortly 
after the freeze.

When I telnet to another machine with an xterm (e.g., "xterm -e telnet abc.def 
&"), it informs the remote machine that terminal type is "xterm-debian" rather 
than "xterm".  Other machines do not recognize this, and resort to dumb 
terminal settings.

I've tried setting TERM to xterm, and tried an export in my .xsession to no 
avail.

Does anyone have a solution?
