xterm-debian?



Hi,

What's the difference between a standard xterm and a xterm-debian
terminfo/termcap entry?  It is annoying to see the following when I try to
remote start an xterm on a non-Debian machine (via ssh):

	tcsh: No entry for terminal type "xterm-debian"
	tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.

It's easy enough to do a "set term=xterm" but I really don't want to keep
doing that.  Why did Debian create their own terminfo/cap entry and why
was such a change necessary?

Thanks,
-Ossama
