There's no need to change this, since as noted in the comments in
terminfo.src, it does not correspond to any terminal type that is
valid for Debian.
The problem is when one connects (by ssh) from a non-Debian OS. In my
case, I'm using iTerm under Mac OS X and connect to a Debian machine
by ssh.
Then use a correct terminfo for Iterm.
hmm - a quick glance at the code shows this is another of the ones that
claim it's xterm-compatible (I see some "xterm" and "vt100" literals).
I'd suggest testing that theory with vttest. The only mention of vttest
in the changelog is two years old "largely works".
Glancing through, I can see some obvious problems with the code. It
appears to be a subset of vt100 with some random xterm features tossed in.
That's reading the code. I'm disregarding the advertising in its webpage.
The source code doesn't contain a terminfo or termcap. Nor does it
contain any real documentation. Perhaps you can file a bug report against
iTerm, suggesting that this be provided.
"xterm-color" might work for you, but I see no reason to change
"xterm-color" to match this - it would then be different from what other
people have come to think of as "xterm-color".
