Please consider Request Termcap/Terminfo String (XTGETTCAP) (https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#h4-Device-Control-functions:DCS-plus-q-Pt-ST.F95) sequence support, at least for the terminfo name.

systemd v258 will be able to make use of this escape code to set $TERM correctly in virtual machines with ( https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/37538).
