Package: ncurses-base
Version: 6.0+20160319-1
Severity: normal
The linux terminfo entry lacks the E3 capability, meaning that
clear(1) does not clear the scrollback buffer. The capability was added
to the linux3.0 terminfo entry, but we are not using this because it has
some undesired side effects in non-Unicode locales, see the discussion
in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665959.
I'm not quite sure what to do, but given that Linux kernels older than
3.0 are now unsupported, the terminfo entry for linux should certainly
advertise this capability.
