Bug#423730: xterm: Default options prevents to run ncurses applications like aptitude, with russian koi8 encoding

[Roman Galeyev <me@jamhed.pp.ru>]

Package: xterm
Version: 222-1etch2
Severity: important
Tags: l10n patch

While trying to run aptitude in default installation of etch with system
locale set to KOI8-R it runs, but shows immidiatly help window,
and there is no way to exit it, pressing keys just reopen help window
again and again.

It could be easily fixed with -k8 option in xterm,
or setting *AllowC1Printable: true resource in
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.

But it took so much time for me to figure it out,
so I guess it should be the system default.
