I wouldn't expect it to work at all, since PuTTY's default Home/End
differs from xterm's.  That's one of several reasons for there being
a "putty" terminal description in ncurses.

iTerm and Terminal.App should use TERM=nsterm, rather than xterm.

Using infocmp, I see that those differ because xterm's cursor
application mode affects the home/end keys, while iTerm presumably
doesn't.  However, I don't recall that as a change in the Debian
package (whether or not Ubuntu further changed it, I don't know).
