Moving the "< /dev/tty" out of the -c argument makes it possible to start the browser, but, at least when using a text-based web browser, such as w3m, the user is prevented from interacting with the browser itself: as soon as the user presses any key on the keyboard, w3m exits and the user is returned to the apt-listbugs prompt. Worse, it seems that the pressed keys are sent to the apt-listbugs prompt, without being visible on the terminal: this means that entering one of the possible commands will fail and print the help...
I'm not sure why I don't experience the same disruptive behaviour, even using w3m myself. This could be due to some differences in invoking aptitude (I just use to run the curses ui of aptitude within sudo) or in the environment (/etc/sudoers?), but can't think of a reasonable explanation.
Anyway ...
At this point, I hope that a radical solution may be found to fix both this bug (#662865) and the other one (#662983).
... I agree that a more generic and possibly radical fix has to be found.
