Title:
  Provide screen.xterm-256color and rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo
  entries in ncurses-base

Status in ncurses package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ncurses source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The gnome standard terminal emulator (gnome-terminal) sets TERM=xterm-
  256color, and screen sets it to screen.xterm-256color, resulting in an
  usuable TERM setting, because the terminfo settings are not available
  by default. This patch includes the screen.xterm-256color and rxvt-
  unicode-256color settings in ncurses-base, resulting in working screen
  settings out-of-the-box.

  Regression potential: The size of ncurses-base is increased by 3500
  bytes (unpacked).  The debian-installer packages might need adjustment
  for the additional size.

  Acceptance criteria: The package builds, and provides the new terminfo
  entries in ncurses-base (note that no Breaks/Replaces are needed,
  because these are installed in a different path).

  Also backport the fix for security issue CVE-2018-10754, fixing a
  segfault, adding a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an
  error when a use-name is invalid syntax.
