Description of problem:
The 'resize' command is packaged as part of xterm, however based on the usage of resize it should be packaged somewhere which doesn't have the dependencies on X; however, I'm not sure the best place for it to live.

resize(1) finds the size of the current terminal by the use of ANSI escape codes; it's use is pretty obscure these days, but it's main use is where you're logged in via a remote serial console (e.g. via a console server, ipmi or these days more likely via a VM serial console).

resize(1) gets run on the remote device - i.e. the device you're talking to over serial; and so there's no need for that machine to be running X and hence installing xterm on that host (with all it's dependencies) makes no sense.

Similarly if I'm using any terminal other than xterm I'd still want to use resize.

It's only dependency is libtinfo (ncurses-libs).
