Would people be open to the idea of a sysutils/screen-ncurses port that
depends on devel/ncurses instead of ncureses in base? The reason for this
is there are screen.* terminfo entries in devel/ncurses that don't exist in
termcap(5). People who want that extra functionality would be advised to
install the alternative pkg or build the sysutils/screen port with the
appropriate option.
Or, simply change the default from whatever ncurses is available to always
install devel/ncurses. People could always select one of the other options.
Personally, I'm not enamoured with this approach.
