Package: quagga
Version: 0.99.23.1-1
Severity: minor

Hello Chris,

doing a standard Debian installation and then installing Quagga, it will use
less as a pager for vtysh. While less might be a neat pager for vtysh with
more configuration, the less with default configuration is a usability hurdle.
On my installation, I observe the following two inconvenient behaviours:

  - less prompts the user to explicitly close it, after each command
  - the output from less will be cleared after less is closed, inhibiting
    the option to use output from "show ..." commands for configuration commands

While I understand the intention to make vtysh match up with Debians global 
pager settings,
would it maybe be possible and sensible to implement a more usable default?

-Christian
