BTW, am I the only one who actually prefers the dialog frontend to the
slang one?
The one and only reason is that there's no way to scroll the help text
in the slang frontend. I often run apt from text mode, and too many
debconf items (debconf/priority among them) have help text that doesn't
fit on my screen (112x40).

The easiest way to win an argument: ridicule your opponent's basic
assumptions by stating their negation and postfixing it with ", right?"
