This is not what I see in the distro. Both
screen-4.0.3-7.tar.bz2
and
screen-4.1.0-20130513.tar.bz2
have only etc/default/etc/screenrc
and install that in /etc
and the diff between these two is as I sent it:
diff -bw [4.0.3/]etc/defaults/etc/screenrc [4.1.0/]etc/defaults/etc/screenrc
12d11
< defflow off # leave this off, so we can save in *emacs

I don't think the .screenrc sample I see in the diff you pointed to
should be the /etc/screenrc. But it's not in the distro in any
case, and the relevant line
termcapinfo * '' 'hs:ts=\E_:fs=\E\\:ds=\E_\E\\'
doesn't work for me if I try it in place of the one I show above from
4.0.3
So, it's up to you whether you add the sample .screenrc to the distro,
but I still think the right thing to do is just to revert the deletion
of the termcapinfo line from /etc/default/etc/screenrc
Any other users out there care to contribute their experience?
