I think the original is correct. Makefile lines that ignore DESTDIR
are truly obnoxious for package building; in this case, the package
would be missing the terminfo file, which would be installed
system-wide each time the package is *rebuilt*.
In your situation, I would use -o /etc/terminfo as a local hack.
I do think it would be nice if this line were in config.mk, as
it seems to be system-specific.
