terminfo descriptions (was: from screen to tmux)
Sorry, that's a bit old, but could solve your problem...

This is not an issue. You can get the textual information under Debian
with "infocmp" (with no arguments, it will give you the one of the
current $TERM), send it to the remote machine, then compile it on
the remote machine with "tic" on this file. No need to be root, as
by default, it will install it in your home directory. This is what
I've done for years with various terminfo descriptions (so that I get
the same behavior on various machines I use), and I've never had any
issue with that.
Note: if you don't like something in a terminfo description, you can
change it before running "tic".
