I will fetch these files today to have a closer look.
In the meantime I found out that marking a line in debians Xresources
quoted hereunder helps to get rid off the lightblue background in mc and
returns the normal darkblue screen. Blanking the screen w/ password
still gives a gray background when asked for the passwd.

! /etc/X11/Xresources/xfree86-common

! load color-specific resources for clients that have them
#ifdef COLOR
#*customization: -color <-- THE unwanted rule..
#endif

I'm still puzzled why the colors of my windows are so different from the
ones running under freebsd, but that's another thread.
