Hi

The linux2.6 terminfo entry still contains the string "enacs=\E(B\E)0", 
which makes it unusable with iso-8859-2 locale and most other one-byte 
character sets (except iso-8859-1 and utf-8).

Please remove the enacs string.

According to man console_codes:
       ESC ( B               Select default (ISO 8859-1 mapping)
       ESC ( 0               Select VT100 graphics mapping
       ESC ( U               Select null mapping - straight to character ROM
       ESC ( K               Select user mapping - the map that is loaded by 
the utility mapscrn(8)

The iso-8859-2 locale needs the user mapping "ESC ( K" (this is 
automatically written to all consoles by the setupcon program) - however, 
terminfo incorrectly resets it to iso-8859-1 mapping with "ESC ( B".
