Package: ncurses-base Version: 6.4-1 Severity: wishlist With late mount of /usr not being supported since Debian 9[1] and a merged /usr layout likely to become mandatory after Debian 12, it does not really make sense to have the terminfo files in ncurses-base in a different directory than the ones from ncurses-term. After the Bookworm release we should move them from /lib/terminfo to /usr/share/terminfo as most other distributions have already done.
Searching for "lib/terminfo" on codesearch.debian.net gives hits for some 60 packages that need to be investigated for possible breakage in code that expects terminfo files in a specific place. 1. https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#late-mounting-usr
