No matter; I'm fairly certain I can live with fixing up stuff so I can still use it. I think it's not a great solution to remove a feature just because people don't want /etc/termcap around, but I guess that is the way it works.
I think the long-term solution should be to add terminfo support. Termcap is long deprecated in favour of terminfo, and there hasn't ever been termcap support for libc6 in Debian as far as I know. This dependency is just a hangover from the libc5 era. Debian deprecated termcap in 1999. According to Peter Samuelson, converting to terminfo should be as simple as linking with -lncurses rather than -ltermcap. However, if you aren't using libtermcap directly, this might be a harder task.
