I'm not sure that the Debian wiki is the right place for this information.
Although there is a Linux port of PuTTY, 99% of PuTTY users are
Windows users, including me. Although it may be used to login remotely
to a Debian system, PuTTY itself is Windows software.
Not only is there a Unix port of PuTTY, but that Unix port of PuTTY is
maintained in Debian by Colin Watson.
PuTTY currently does not support 256-color mode. See
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/256-colours.html
for more information.
You appear not to have read the whole page:
"fixed-in: 2004-11-29 (0.58) (0.59) (0.60) (0.61) (0.62) (0.63)"
and indeed, looking at the Window->Colours section of the configuration
dialog in PuTTY 0.63 on a Debian jessie system, I see the option "allow
terminal to use xterm 256-colour mode".
