It would be perfect, indeed!

Then let's make the default choice broad enough to include
any hardware or software terminals shipped with the last
10 years.  I'm sure we could _still_ get rid of 95% of that
junk.

A safe bet could be taking what Debian is also shipping:

Eterm
Eterm-color -> Eterm
ansi
cons25
cygwin
umb
hurd
linux
mach
mach-bold
mach-color
pcansi
rxvt
rxvt-basic
rxvt-m -> rxvt-basic
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
