Seems to work fine, although I haven't tested what happens when you
connect to non-Debian systems which have kbs=^H in the xterm terminfo.
Overall xterm seems like a nice improvement over cons25(-debian), the
only problem is that Emacs apparently sets up colors for a light
background, resulting in minibuffer prompts that are barely readable
(dark blue on black).
