Hello,

I think Bill has a good point here. Ressource files like compiled
terminal descriptions should not be in etc since hardly anyone edits
them. Instead, they should be moved to /usr/share and links from them to
/etc/terminfo/... should be created, so the local admin still has a
chance to modify the files, and on the other hands the packages can work
without worrying about conffiles issues.

my understanding is that they're in /etc since they're used during startup
when /usr/share is not mounted.
