02-debian-backspace.diff Fix backspace key description in some terminfo entries Change backspace key description according to the Debian keyboard policy. Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de> not-needed debian 2024-04-15
03-debian-ncursesconfig-omit-L.diff Omit -L part from ncurses6{w,}-config output "ncurses6-config --libs" includes a "-L" part which is not needed
since the library is installed in a directory in the default linker
search path.
.
Upstream omits the -L part if $libdir is in a standard directory,
however the list of standard directories is determined at build time
and architecture dependent, breaking multiarch co-installability.
Until there is a way to obtain the multiarch path without running
dpkg-architecture our patch is not upstreamable.
