This is about an old request to include the bterm terminfo entry in
ncurses-base or ncurses-term. I don't think the former makes much
sense, but the latter would be possible. It requires coordinated
uploads of ncurses and bogl, though.

Attached are patches for ncurses to include the bterm terminfo entry
in ncurses-term and for bogl to depend on the new ncurses-term version.
As for the udeb, I vote for installing the ncurses-term version there as
well, meaning that bogl needs to build-depend on ncurses-term.
Samuel, do you think that is a good plan?
Cheers,
Sven

Subject: [PATCH] Ship bterm terminfo entry in ncurses-term
The next release of bogl will have to stop shipping that file.

Subject: [PATCH] Let ncurses-term take over the bterm terminfo entry
This requires that bogl-bterm depends on ncurses-term (>= 5.9-7).
Since there is no udeb for ncurses, bog-term-udeb needs to continue to
ship the bterm terminfo entry. Build-depend on ncurses-term to
install the system terminfo file into the udeb rather than the locally
built one.
