Subject: Bug#3297: No eterm entry in terminfo.

Package: ncurses-base, ncurses-term
Version: 1.9.8a

Having both ncurses packages installed, there's still no Emacs terminal
information:

marin1% ls
ls

[0m#INBOX#[0m                       [32mprivate_html[0m
[0m5001.DSC_Spec.pdf[0m             [32mpsutils-1.16[0m

marin2% echo $TERM
echo $TERM

unknown

marin3% export TERM=eterm
export TERM=eterm

zsh: can't find termcap info for eterm

marin4% export TERM=emacs
export TERM=emacs

zsh: can't find termcap info for emacs
marin5% 

(note that zsh complains about termcap info missing although it really
uses terminfo! I have an /etc/termcap with an eterm entry, adn it does
not even look at it...).

The eterm entry is in ncurses since a long time, why is it omitted from
the distributed packages?
