Dear Sven,

Thanks for your feedback!

However, as I tested, screen-udeb ran well under my armel device.
And there're a few terminfo already inside d-i image:

/usr/share/terminfo/b/bterm
/lib/terminfo/l/linux
/lib/terminfo/v/vt102
/lib/terminfo/d/dumb
/lib/terminfo/a/ansi

They're maybe provided by src:debian-installer-utils [2], which
creates package di-utils-terminfo [3].

[2] 
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer-utils.git/tree/debian/rules
[3] 
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer-utils.git/tree/debian/control

I guess the above 5 terminfo files are enough for d-i, and there's no
need to introduce new one.

Cheers,
