No, it's no regression in this case:
Screen's behaviour hasn't changed at all. But it's long-standing
behaviour relies a lot on which termcap definitions are availab
So, something that used to work and now does not -- the boilerplate
definition of a regression, I'd think -- and the "solution" is to update
a distro specific README file, that nobody will read? It is your call
in the end, but I have to say that doesn't improve the end-user

I do not want to add any further patches to Debian's screen package

I'm not sure why newer versions of screen (or Ubuntu's configuration)
tend to set this weird value of "screen.xterm-256color". The more

14.04 (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/ncurses-
base/filelist), probably much earlie
