... and for new stuff, compile it with ncurses to use terminfo, which
already carries a functional definition for "linux". I'm slowly upgrading
all my old binaries.

By the way, were the color definitions changed? I noticed that the "ls"
colors changed slightly on my system. I didn't make sure that the original
kernel really got me the same terminal definition, however ...
