Debians xterm is compiled with only 16 colors support (8 of them
for bold).  You can compile xterm yourself with 256 colors
support.

But i think you need emacs from CVS to use all these colors.  And
as far as i remember screen has problems with 256 colors and
other attributes like bold and underline (if someone solved these
issues i would be glad to read about it).
