I run across this issue as well. I usually recompile screen to remove it. If you want to do it with packages, make sure you have the dpkg-dev package installed (you will need make etc. so also grab build-essential which may or may not be a dependancy on dpkg-dev) and use 'apt-get source screen' to grab the source for screen.
Extract the source (screen_4.0.3.orig.tar.gz). Make sure that you run the patch after the archive is extracted to create the debian package control files. Edit the config.h.in file and find this near the top: # define MAXWIN 40 Change the 40 to what ever limit you want. Rebuild the package using dpkg-buildpackage and then install the .dpkg file over the top of your current screen installation. This will then set the window limit to what ever you defined earlier.
