The next release of Debian's XFree86 packages will render the colors
used in the XTerm-color app-defaults file and the colors documented in
the xterm manpage congruent again.

This was originally a Debian deviation that we should have patched the
manpage to document, but there's no point now, as Debian will no longer
be overriding the upstream color definition.

(This is no cause to rejoice for people who hate the colors I chose for
Debian's xterm years ago, however; it appears I have won Mr. Dickey
over, and he and I now sing the same blues, so to speak.  :) )
