There's a fourth option: backporting TEKEN_XTERM from 9-current.
(I'm not speaking in favour of it, I have no idea whether it'd be
feasible or not)

How long is that going to take? In the meantime, console users of
GNU/kFreeBSD are screwed whenever they connect to other systems, since
that means they must change their TERM variable _and_ their backspace
key is broken.
I've attached the necessary patches to create the cons25-debian

It seems that current plain FreeBSD kernel generates events
that fully corresponds to cons25 entry.
It just uses different definitions for kbs and kdch1 wrt Linux,
Linux: kbs=\177 kdch1=\E[3~
FreeBSD/cons25 kbs=^H kdch1=\177
Emacs, for instance, does not expect ^H to mean "delete

You really can't just unilaterally change the cons25 terminfo entry. If
this proposed change is implemented, people running stock FreeBSD will
have their consoles broken if they log into a Debian system. If
kFreeBSD needs different settings than the stock cons25 entry, it needs
to create and use

I second this. This would make it easier to coordinate with
upstream and at least agree on what name to use. Release
pressure wouldn't play well with t
The changes to the kFreeBSD console and the kbdcontrol package (see
#605065 and #605777) need to be accompanied by changing the cons25
terminfo entry accordingly, otherwise ncurses-based programs severely
misbehave.
