It sounds fair to do this, the same is done on other distributions as
well. For reference, in Ubuntu (certainly debian as well), there is
an ncurses-term package with all the terminfo data, and an ncurses-base
package consisting only of those below

Eterm  Eterm-color ansi cons25  cygwin dumb hurd linux mach  mach-bold
mach-color pcansi rxvt  rxvt-basic  rxvt-m  rxvt-unicode screen
screen-bce  screen-s  screen-w  sun vt100  vt102  vt220  vt52 wsvt25
wsvt25m xterm  xterm-color  xterm-debian  xterm-mono  xterm-r5  xterm-r6
xterm-vt220  xterm-xfree86
