Comment:
I used a modified instruction and created a symlink /usr/lib/terminfo that
points to /usr/share/terminfo. The following files are then overwritten.

I really don't see any harm in the xterm package overwriting xterm config
files from the Ncurses packages.
Thoughts from others are encouraged.
