Reassigning to ncurses from screen, as proper terminfo description files
is that package's responsibility, and not screen's (except things like
/usr/share/terminfo/s/screen, but I don't know that those other screen
ones are part of the screen package proper).
The offending bit is probably "kb=^H"; many folks prefer that "kb=^?",
though which is appropriate may depend on the user's configuration. Best
may be to ensure they're undefined ("kb=", or no kb definition) so that
applications instead use whatever stty (termios) says to use.
Note that "kb" is a termcap name; in the real terminfo files it'd appear
as "kbs".
My setup on Intrepid has "kb=\177" for xterm, so possibly this has been
fixed? I don't know what the original user had for xterm, though, as
only "screen.xterm" and such are shown (I don't have those). So I'm
leaving as "incomplete".
Note that tricks like "TERM=screen screen" are a bad idea. It may fix
one problem and cause several other, subtler ones.
** Changed in: ncurses (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: screen => ncurses
