Is most
(ii most 4.9.0-2 a more/less paging type program)
being actively maintained? The last changelog entry is from Oct 25th, '99.
The reason i ask is that there's a wishlist bug (#53418) that addresses
an annoyance i faced as well.. The fact that most is not registered w/
update-alternatives as a pager when it is installed. If this was a hard
wishlist bug to fix, then maybe the 298 day age on it would be warranted, but
this would be a simple couple of lines added to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/most.postinst. Something similar to less's postinst:
update-alternatives --quiet --install /usr/bin/pager pager \
/usr/bin/less 77 --slave /usr/share/man/man1/pager.1.gz \
pager.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/less.1.gz
s/less/most/g
s/77/100/
Seems like an easy change to me.

you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new
turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily
removed the floor under your bed." - Unix for Dummies, 2nd Edition
