Package: fbterm Version: 1.7-4 Severity: wishlist Last year the fbterm terminal description was added to ncurses upstream, and I would like to add it to the ncurses-term package, replacing the one shipped currently in the fbterm package.
This requires coordinated uploads of ncurses and fbterm, adding a versioned Breaks/Replaces on fbterm to ncurses-term and a versioned dependency on ncurses-term to fbterm. The benefit for fbterm users would be that ncurses-term is much more likely to be installed on any remote system they might want to connect to than fbterm, so setting TERM=fbterm has a higher chance to work in such cases.
