Current look with vt(4) + xterm

With the vt(4) only supporting xterm emulation, we are observing some
regressions of the console-based ncurses UI that we have to provision the
system for the last 12 years. As such I am curious if there is a way to get=
 the
missing elements back with some terminfo / ncurses magic and if not is there
any plans to fix those at some point? With the overall direction of obsolet=
ing
syscons(4) in favour of vt(4), it's really sad something that has been
flawlessly worked for the last two decades regressing just like that.
