	$ infocmp xterm-debian > xterm-debian.ti

will put the terminfo entry for `xterm-debian' into the file.
You can probably `scp' that file over to the remote machine.  Once you
login to the remote m/c., just do a

	$ tic xterm-debian.ti

This will cause it to compile the terminfo entry and create a 
`$HOME/.terminfo/x/xterm-debian' file.  You may need to set the
TERMINFO variable to point to `$HOME/.terminfo'.
