sysutils/screen and its now default "screen.xterm-256color" terminal type

[Victor Sudakov]

Dear Colleagues,

Have you noticed that the recent versions of sysutils/screen force the
setting of $TERM to "screen.xterm-256color"? FreeBSD does not know this
terminal type, which leads to different errors in programs running under
screen ("using dumb terminal" etc).

I've opened a PR
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246029 but the
maintainer is too quick to close it IMHO.

Does anyone care to view/comment on the PR?
