This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 5.49-0ubuntu1

---------------
byobu (5.49-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * usr/bin/byobu-enable-prompt:
    - fix TERM
  * debian/postinst, usr/bin/byobu-enable-prompt: LP: #1205560
    - soften requirements on touching the reload flag
  * usr/share/byobu/status/status:
    - add the second profile a more complete one, the config I used most
      of the time
