Dear Maintainer,

  when I try to run nethack, I get this error:

    f@x270:~$ nethack
    Unknown terminal type: screen-it.

But the terminal type `screen-it` is present in the terminal capability
database ~/.terminfo

    f@x270:~$ ls .terminfo/s/screen-it
    .terminfo/s/screen-it

Expected: `nethack` to run without fuss.
Actual: I have to invoke nethack as `TERM=screen nethack`.
