Ok.

The database in /usr/share/terminfo will have all entries as there
will be a symlink for each entry moved. Ncurses will search in
/lib/terminfo only when /usr partition isn't mounted.

Which entries are good candidates for moving to /lib? So far I have
selected these:

linux
dumb
vt100
vt100-nav
vt220
