Thanks.  All sounds good to me; I just like to a see a "packaging
changes" type comment for anything that isn't obvious.

In this case, part of what's not obvious is that programs that do the
sorts of things this editor seems to do *should* be using a
terminfo/termcap kind of database so they are portable, but apparently
this upstream has decided to limit support to the dominant protocol.
Upstream's call on upstream's approach, of course, but it didn't make
sense to me as a reviewer.
