Description: the kitty package before ver. 0.14.4-1 provided terminfo file 'xterm-kitty' with the package, beginning with ver. 0.14.4-2 the 'kitty-terminfo' package provides the terminfo file in accordance with upstream suggestion. Still the 'kitty' package provides the terminfo file 'xterm-kitty' in '/usr/lib/kitty/terminfo/x'. Shouldn't the 'kitty-terminfo' provide this file? The purpose of this file is a bit unclear. According to the page https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/build.html#note-for-linux-macos-packagers this file is needed to run kitty from build directory but it is not clear if one needs that file after usual installation, when 'xterm-kitty' is in '/usr/share/terminfo/x/'.
This task depends upon

Please ignore this request. I contacted with the author of kitty (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/1989) and he said that this file (in /usr/lib/kitty) is private one, not for system wide installation.
