I must have been blind because I see it now too. In any case the installation of less includes a debconf that says this: "less" itself is only able to display plain text. But with the help of an appropriate input filter, it can be used to display various binary data, ranging from gzip compressed text files to tar archives and debian packages. For detailed information about how to use input filters with less, see the file /usr/share/doc/less/LESSOPEN or the manpage lesspipe(1). Bob
