You should probably split |kitty| into two packages, :file:`kitty-terminfo` that
installs the terminfo file and :file:`kitty` that installs the main program.
This allows users to install the terminfo file on servers into which they ssh,
without needing to install all of |kitty|.
You should probably split |kitty| into three packages:
:code:`kitty-terminfo`
installs the terminfo file
:code:`kitty-shell-integration`
installs the shell integration scripts (the contents of the
shell-integration directory in the kitty source code, probably to
:file:`/usr/share/kitty/shell-integration`
:code:`kitty`
installs the main program
This allows users to install the terminfo and shell integration files on
servers into which they ssh, without needing to install all of |kitty|.
