ok, that's presumably due to kitty-terminfo not being installed in our pbuilder. we certainly don't want to be generally depping on kitty-terminfo.
the buildd logs show: 1: Running with LANG=C.UTF-8 1: TERM wasn't defined, exiting with success and yeah it's blowing up in dh_auto_test, never hitting autopkgtests; they're irrelevant.
