Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-14
Followup-For: Bug #621804
I noticed that upstream hasn't fixed this yet, and it's quite annoying
for screen to not work unless I play with $TERM and the terminfo
database. The patch attached to the upstream bug only increases the
length of this buffer by one byte, which I suppose fixes the
rxvt-unicode-256color problem, but I thought 32 bytes would be a nice
number and would allow for some future terminal emulator with a long
name. rxvt-unicode-16384color or something :)

I've been using a custom package with this patch applied for a month
or so, and it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects. Please
consider applying to the Debian package until upstream is fixed.
Also, if the issue is that we want to dynamically allocate this
buffer, let me know, and I will do that. I have not done that yet
because I'm lazy and I feel it's unnecessary, but I can be convinced
otherwise :)
Thanks!
Regards,
Jonathan Rockway
