Bug#38334: "background" option does not background



Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.1
Severity: wishlist

One of the options for handling a changed configuration file is

> Z     : background this process to examine the situation

but it is not really "backgrounding" if it spawns a _new_ shell.
(If something is "backgrounded", one returns to it by typing "fg",
not "exit".)  The terminology should be changed to prevent confusion.
