I did this on my former ISP's Solaris box by setting
export TERMINFO=$HOME/.termcap
Then copy the xterm-debain file to $HOME/.termcap/x/xterm-debian
on the Solaris box.
This causes the $HOME/.termcap directories/files to be
searched before the system termcap files. So it works
reguardless of where you login. See the ncurses man
page for details.
(Actually I did this with the linux terminal definition,
but it should work with xterm-debian also.)
