I carefully read this thread, but of course cannot make everyone happy.
Here is what I just implemented in cdebconf text frontend:
  * 'b' key now acts as with more/less/lynx, it goes back
  * Prompt is:
     q to quit select, b for back, n for next page

This is a bit long, but I believe that this is not an issue because
irrelevant options are not displayed, thus the full list will only
be printed in the middle of the list.
