Well, the fact that xterm-utf8 is missing from the dircolors database
of terminals which support color is arguably a bug. It represents
an inconsistency between two packages. ncurses says it supports color,
coreutils says it doesn't. I haven't reported this as a bug yet, but
I will, unless someone else has already done so.
But my proposed new terminal type, xterm-256color-utf8, is arguably an
enhancement request, not a bug. From my point of view, its absence
represents a "bug" in that there is no terminal type definition which
adequately describes my terminal. But from the package maintainer's
point of view, it's an enhancement request.
