Yes, and the rxvt-unicode maintainer did not ask for adding one. Plus,
rxvt-unicode's upstream does not seem to bother getting it included into
ncurses upstream either -- that is another big problem, you cannot rely
on the terminfo entry being present when logging into other machines.

That one is included in ncurses-base.
The rxvt-unicode source package has an entry for rxvt-unicode-256color,
and I will happily include it in ncurses-term (or even ncurses-base if
it's terribly important, but for now I would prefer ncurses-term).
