Hi,
I'm revising the patches in the Debian ncurses package. Thought you
might be interested in this one, created in version 5.5-2 by Daniel
Jacobowitz:
,----
| ncurses (5.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
| [...]
| * Use shorter symlinks within terminfo directories when possible
| (e.g. xx -> xy instead of xx -> ../x/xy).

(Of course, the indentation does not match your style.)
Cheers,
