There are some xterm* terminfo entries which are distributed with xterm,
but not with ncurses (and vice versa, but that is currently not really
interesting to me).

Some background: Debian has, at least for the last 21 years, compiled
its xterm* terminfo files from the (slightly modified) xterm source,
rather than from ncurses' terminfo.misc. As Debian maintainer I
consider that a bug and would like to change it, but this is quite
difficult when xterm-mono is missing, since we are currently shipping
xterm-mono in ncurses-base.
What is the reason for this discrepancy between xterm and ncurses?
Cheers,
Sven
