First, I don't think that would solve his problem, because what he's got is a beta dist of XFree86 that's been linked with libtermcap (the real thing) instead of ncurses. The two aren't necessarily call-compatible, are they? Anyway, I think having a symlink like this might be bad because of possible confusion it could cause when moving binaries to and from Debian systems. I think the "right" answer is for Debian to have a termcap-compat package that is optional, containing the ELF termcap and an /etc/termcap file, for situations like this where someone needs to run a binary from another system.
