--- Comment #4 from Nguyễn Chính Hữu <huupoke12 at gmail.com> ---
It seems the problem is partly caused by the inconsistency between upstream
developer and downstream distributors of defining the kbs.

In the upstream, the default kbs of xterm is "^H":
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.src.html#tic-xterm_kbs
So I don't think it is a "standard configuration" if the upstream developer
doesn't make it default but something else.

Arch Linux doesn't override it, follows the upstream configuration:
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/ncurses/trunk/PKGBUILD
Gentoo Linux also seems to not override it:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-libs/ncurses/ncurses-6.2_p20210619.ebuild

Debian (and Ubuntu) overrides it with "del":
https://sources.debian.org/src/ncurses/6.2%2B20201114-2/debian/rules/#L153
Fedora overrides it with "DEL":
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ncurses/blob/rawhide/f/ncurses.spec#_139
openSUSE overrides it with "del" (line 531):
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/ncurses/ncurses.spec?expand=1
