[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1140650: alacritty: package description should probably mention ncurses-term

[Agathe Porte]

Package: alacritty
Version: 0.16.1-3
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: gagath at debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

When using alacritty, I usually have difficulty to have it work properly
when accessing remote systems and using ncurses programs. I recently
found that installing ncurses-term on the remote systems installs the
missing terminfo files for alacritty, and solves the issue.

Given the package description is currently short, I think we could
extend the description of the package like this:

> For alacritty to work properly when accessing remote systems (eg.
> using SSH), you can install the `ncurses-term` package on the target
> which will take care of installing the required terminfo files.

I will propose a patch shortly. I believe this change would also qualify
for a stable update for trixie users to have the updated description at
some point in the future.

Thanks,

Agathe.
