No objection on my part.

The report surely /provides/ “… some other easy procedure for
fixing the bug”, as per http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer:

But I stand corrected, – the procedure I’ve suggested does /not/
resolve the bug, and thus this tag is indeed /not/ applicable.
Apparently, the proper “fix” for the issue is just to use the
‘linux2.6’ terminfo entry:
linux2.6|linux 2.6.x console,
rmacs=^O,
sgr=\E[0;10%?%p1%t;7%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p3%t;7%;%?%p4%t;5%;%?%p5%t;2%;%?%p6%t;1%;m%?%p9%t\016%e\017%;,
sgr0=\E[m\017, smacs=^N, use=linux2.2,
I hereby suggest that, given that Debian currently only supports
Linux versions 2.6 or later, the ‘linux’ terminfo entry be made
synonymous to ‘linux2.6’.

… And I still think it makes sense to provide a dedicated
‘linux-cp437’ entry per the above, just in case.
