Hi,
Some terminals can't print 80 characters on a single line without
opening a new line (those with the "sam" terminfo capability rather than
"am"). So by default, apt-get should only use 79 characters, leaving
the 80th for the cursor and hence avoiding spurious newlines. (See the
SigWinch() handler, which already subtracts 1 to the value obtained via
ioctl()). (Yes, the ioctl may _always_ fail on some terminals, so the
default value _is_ important).
