Package: libvte9
Version: 1:0.28.2-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

VTE-based terminal emulators generate wrong sequences for the
following keys:

	  * Control-Backspace: ^?
	  * Control-Return: ^J
	  * Meta-Control-Space: ESC SPACE

I assume these are wrong because every other terminal emulator I have
checked (xterm, rxvt & the Linux console) generates ^H (for C-BS), ^M
(for C-RET), and ESC ^@ (for M-C-Space).

This breaks key bindings in programs such as emacs.
