As the upstream author and deb maintainer of evilvte, I think this new proposal is good enough for me. I think "x-terminal-emulator" is used for a basically well-functioned terminal emulator, not for a full xterm clone. Some xterm-specific features are hard or never exist in some other terminal emulators. Debian policy should limit its definition to the most useful features, not to force other upstreams to rewrite a xterm.
