Perhaps common ones should be added, like xterm-xfree86 and
xterm-vt220 (both used by the xterm provided by Debian, depending
on how the keyboard should be handled).

OK, I now understand. It would be a good idea to support it.
Another solution is to write a wrapper script that would build
a configuration file, as using terminfo is easy from the shell,
thanks to the tput command.

This is not very practical, in particular when one uses many terminals.
And is there a way to say, in the configuration file, which escape
sequence should be sent to get rid of the cursor and get it back?
