Hmm, so /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm* mustn't be marked as a conf file
(perhaps).

Well thats not Debian defaults!
Personal settings should be made in your ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults
file. Once you've changed them, you can run xrdb -override ~/.Xresources,
and start a new xterm.
Personally, I also stick in my ~/.bashrc this,
if [ $TERM = "xterm" ]; then
TERM=xterm-color
fi
Hope this helps.
