Public bug reported:
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.
