Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: screen

I was playing with Vim's 256 color capabilities and I found out that
they won't work in (GNU) screen.  That's very sad, because I run most
things on top of screen.

Some googling pointed me to a few directions:
http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/
http://www.jukie.net/~bart/blog/20060824224842

I followed the suggestions in the latter link and compiled screen myself with:
--enable-colors256

In fact it's just a matter of uncommenting a line in ./debian/rules

I wonder if we can update screen to come with this option by default,
since xterm already uses it.

Thanks.

PS: By the way, if you like Vim, check inkpot.  It's a sweet color
scheme.  You'll probably understand why I'm making this request.  : )
