The 'big' change in this pull request is to drop reset(1) from util-linux.
I don't think there is any point of keep this script hanging around.

Why do you think that.  I find it useful when some application corrupts the
screen.  I realize that reset is a symlink to tset, but I find reset easier
to remember/use.

The ncurses package contains both binaries tput(1) and reset(1). So this
script will not work without ncurses, and the very same package has the
binary that obsoletes the script.

Thanks.  I agree that duplicate functions should be removed.
