No, it's no regression in this case:
Screen's behaviour hasn't changed at all. But it's long-standing
behaviour relies a lot on which termcap definitions are
So, something that used to work and now does not -- the boilerplate
definition of a regression, I'd think -- and the "solution" is to update
a distro specific README file, that nobody will read? It is your call
in the end, but I have to say that doesn't improve the end-user
experience any

I do not want to add any further patches to Debian's screen package
which makes it differ from upstream behaviour more than it already does.
(Of course, it's a different thing if issues are caused by existing
patches.)
And IMHO workarounds for issues in other packages do not belong into

Title:
screen 256 colour TERM setting breaks logging into older hosts
I _guess_ it shouldn't be that hard to patch screen to make an exception
to the "prepend 'screen.'" rule, and convert an implicitly created
"screen.xterm-256color" into "screen-256color". (I haven't checked
screen's source to see how easy it would be.)
This would go against its current
Please see this new section in README.Debian, which will be published
with the next upload of Debian's screen package to Debian Unstable:

I don't see any other feasible solution to this problem from the side

I'm not sure why newer versions of screen (or Ubuntu's configuration)
tend to set this weird value of "screen.xterm-256color". The more
readable value "screen-256color" is supported at least since Trusty
14.04 (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/ncurses-
base/filelist), probably much
10 matches
