Please include the xterm-256color in di-utils-terminfo.  AFAICS this is
a prerequisite for fixing #887649, because vte2.91 sets the TERM
environment variable to xterm-256color by default[1,2], while the old
vte package sets TERM=xterm.

In case anyone has unrealistically high hopes: I can send a patch for
the current bug, but do not volunteer to fix #887649.

Cheers,
       Sven

Hello,

Bug #1061121 in debian-installer-utils reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer-utils/-/commit/45fc831e6a05875e62f8006ca3d3a157b3097b33
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Include the xterm-256color terminfo entry in di-utils-terminfo

This is a prerequisite for switching from the old unmaintained vte
package to vte2.91, as the latter sets TERM to xterm-256color by
default.

Closes: #1061121
