The right way:
In the remote .bashrc or .profile or whatever, do
export TERMINFO=$HOME/terminfo:$TERMINFO
On remote system, create a subdirectory ~/terminfo/x/
Copy local /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-debian to remote
~/terminfo/x/xterm-debian
(Modification for termcap based remote systems left as exercise for
the user)
