TERM=xterm-debian and other distributions

[Andy Spiegl <debian-user.andy@spiegl.de>]

Hi!

Everytime I log into a non Debian system I have to set the
TERM variable to xterm or vt100 manually, because the system
doesn't know "xterm-debian" of course

I don't think this was intended, so I guess I must be missing
something.  Or how do you guys deal with that?

Thanks,
 Andy.
