I'll revert the change and switch it to an optional flag that can be set in the menu in order to be able to deal with future buggy cases, such as bug #502317. However, I doubt that most users will figure out how to get around such cases. :-( > Please revert this change, I will > happily file bugs against any package whose bug script does not deal > correctly with the lack of a tty.
