mysql binary doesn't find debian/ubuntu terminfo files

The ./bin/mysql binary provided with Percona (see https://downloads.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-LATEST/Percona-Server-8.0.34-26/binary/tarball/Percona-Server-8.0.34-26-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.17-minimal.tar.gz) is linked against an included libncurses library.

That library only searches 2 paths when looking for terminfo files - /etc/terminfo and /usr/share/terminfo/

However, on debian/ubuntu, most or all terminfo files wind up in /lib/terminfo - which the system ncurses libraries will look in:

The major affect of this is that the mysql binary horizontally scrolls long input lines and long queries pulled from history, rather than veriticaly wrapping them, which is incredibly frustrating.
