I'm attaching the patch I had posted to bug 989029. I thought that
these two bugs (missing terminal types and broken navigation) were
due to the same cause, and I merged them, but these are really two
independent bugs, though they occur at the same place in the manual.
So I unmerged them a few hours ago.

This patch fixes the missing terminal types by providing a correct
relative pathname for the .trm files. Note that it is specific to
Debian, since the relative pathname depends on the location of the
build directory (a general fix would be more complex than this
one-line change).

Note: the menu with the "Bugs" item seen above is bug 989029 (this
menu is the cause of the broken navigation in "info", and I will
post a patch there).
