commit 759ec4a183d0c560c638816787fc048a8f4b92f9

    Put /lib/terminfo last in the list of terminfo directories
    
    Since version 6.4+20230603-1, all terminfo files in
    ncurses-{base,term} are below /usr/share/terminfo, and /lib/terminfo
    usually does not exist anymore.  Any files there are likely either
    cruft or installed by backports where the backported package needs to
    avoid /usr/share/terminfo, as in #911515 or #1142216.  In either case
    the file in /usr/share/terminfo is most likely more recent and should
    be preferred.

    Drop the Breaks on ancient cowdancer versions
    
    The fixed version 0.89 is already in oldoldstable.

    Drop the Replaces on ancient third-party alacritty versions
    
    Alacritty has been in the archive since oldstable, and the problematic
    versions on GitHub are over 6.5 years old.

    Add a "Replaces: kmscon (= 10.0.1-1~bpo13+1)" to ncurses-term
    
    This version of kmscon shipped /usr/share/terminfo/k/kmscon, clashing
    with our provided file.  Later backports of kmscon moved the file to
    /usr/lib/terminfo/k/kmscon to avoid the file conflict.
    
    There is no need for Breaks here, since the problematic version of
    kmscon explicitly depends on an older version of ncurses-term, meaning
    that kmscon and ncurses-term have to be upgraded in lockstep.
    
    Closes: #1142185
