Dear Maintainer,

The kitty ssh integration (the ssh kitten, as documented at
https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/ssh/), fails on Debian.

As found at https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/5835 , it's an issue specific to the Debian
packaging of kitty.

`kitty +kitten ssh` fails out of the box with:

...
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/kitty/terminfo/kitty.terminfo'.

It is possible to work around this error by copying the plaintext terminfo file to
/usr/lib/kitty/terminfo/kitty.terminfo, and the compiled terminfo file to /usr/lib/kitty/x/xterm-kitty .
