it was just a small glitch on debconf's return code handling (of the progress 'widget'). After fixing it the readline frontend works like a charm w/o any further modifications. If you want to give it a try take a look at: https://github.com/liske/needrestart/commit/460b0740c32b2499886ca6d49addb7a0e3edb930 > I'd prefer to see it working with readline too, and not Depend on or > Recommend anther - Suggests should suffice, IMVHO. This is Patrick's part ;-) - but I think we just leave it as it is. No need to add a dep/rec/sugg on whiptail as it is part of Debian's base installation. I've fixed it upstream and it will be part of the 0.4 release. I think I'm going to release it soon.
