Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.7.1-1
Dialog shows "Really quit aptitude?" Buttons are Yes and No.
Default is no on right side.
You already are giving a dialog box. Making it more difficult to get
to where the user wants to get is not helpful. Please make the
default button be Yes and move it to the right side.

Control: tags -1 + wontfix
Almost 14 years later after the original maintainer and developer said
this, I think that it's far too late to change the behaviour now. There
have not been any requests in the last few years. So realistically, we
are not going to implement this any time soon.
If one wants to get rid of the dialog altogether, there is the
possibility to set "Aptitude::UI::Prompt-On-Exit" to "False" in the
configuration, so it doesn't even ask for confirmation when pressing
'q'.
So marking it as +wontfix, so it doesn't show all of the time in the
list of bugs that are real candidates to fix.
Closing now.
